PTSD is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of absolute strength. PTSD is earned by doing what most people fear. You are not alone in this fight. As veterans and first responders, we understand the hidden wounds of trauma and together, we will overcome.

Please take some time to listen PTG's President Mark DiBona. PTG has a great partnership with SEHIA. Thank you SEHIA, we truly appreciate it. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17bk9jqDax/

TALK MURDER TO ME: THE SEHIA PODCAST: BREAKING THE SILENCE with MARK DiBONA IS LIVE!

Every day, officers run toward the crisis. But who supports them when the weight of the job becomes too much?

In the next episode of Talk Murder to Me, Joe Duncan, moderator, speaks with Mark DiBona about Breaking the Silence: Mental Health and The Heart Behind the Badge, as they pull back the curtain on the mental and emotional toll of law enforcement. Trauma exposure, organizational stress, and stigma often prevent officers from seeking help.

This episode is a crucial listen for officers, their families, and the communities they serve. Let's make support a priority.

Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it’s first brought out into the open.

The goal is to go home safe at the end of your shift, but what does, “safe” look like? Is this what you or your First Responder family member sometimes look like when they come home?

The Guardians back the badge beyond the battle by preventing first responder su***de. We do so through training events that empower leaders of departments to diminish the stigma: “Asking for help means you are weak.”

Protecting The Guardian understands how asking for help allows first responders to utilize the available resources to light a new path out of the darkness.

The Guardians enlighten those in the line of duty to change the trajectory of on-the-job and personal challenges so they may strengthen their road of support to a more promising future. In turn, they become a Guardian themselves by exemplifying nobility to others: “Reintegration to your job of serving the community and again being a functioning member of your family is possible.”

If you’re a First Responder or have a First Responder in your family, contact Protecting The Guardian about Mental Health First Aid courses to be held at your department or in your community. Our First Responders and Licenced Mental Health Clinicians teach you to protect those who protect others. Doing so will lessen disgruntled employees, IA complaints, bullying in the workplace, but most of all, prevent officer su***de 🙏🏼
