In this Special Edition of the Invisible Wounds Project we talk about Suicide Prevention Within Law Enforcement with the founder and Executive Director of the Invisible Wounds Project, Russ Hanes.
Russ worked in nearly every aspect of law enforcement and public safety before walking away from his career due to challenges with PTSD and suicidal ideation - affects of cumulative stress from years of service. After recognizing the need for mental health support for first responders in Minnesota and realizing the lack of services that were available, he started the Invisible Wounds Project and continues to serve out of their support center in Forest Lake Minnesota.
This incredible organization is like no other in the way it supports Minnesota's first responders and their families. An important episode for all MN first responders and their families - also an important episode for supervisors and administrators.
