Host Scott Hewlett engages with Joey Scrivani, a former firefighter turned mental health advocate, to explore the critical issue of mental well-being in the fire service. Scrivani shares his personal journey from experiencing PTSD to discovering transformative skills for nervous system regulation, emphasizing the importance of proactive mental health strategies over reliance on medication. He advocates for a cultural shift within firefighting traditions, promoting a new paradigm where vulnerability is seen as strength, and self-care practices like breathwork and trauma release exercises are integrated into routine training. With alarming statistics indicating that first responders are at a higher risk for suicide than line-of-duty deaths, this episode calls for immediate action and education to equip firefighters with necessary tools for resilience and recovery amidst the challenging realities of their profession. Join them in redefining the conversation surrounding mental health and the firefighting community.
