  • Summary

  • For part II in our multi part mini series on responder mental health and wellness, host Prescott Nadeau interviews Williston Police Officer Dan Macaig.

    Dan has been a firefighter, EMT and police officer in a wide range of areas including on call, career, volunteer, busy houses, slow houses... the whole gammut.

    We talk about a range of topics including:
    • Mental health and responder wellness conversations during entry level recruit academies
    • The journey of a responder as his cup slowly fills up and what happens when it overflows
    • Breaking the stigma of the "salty old school responder" and "suck it up"
    • Acute stress reactions and how to seek help
    • The drastic effect a listening ear can have on someone in need of help
    • An example of the wrong clinician (followed by finding the right one)
    • A discussion about EMDR and the tangible benefit to responders
    What do you want the listeners to do tomorrow?
    - Treat others like you want to be treated
