In this masterclass episode for mental health clinicians and savvy first responders, we examine the dynamics of mental health and therapy for military veterans who have transitioned into roles as first responders. Joining us is our resident EMDR trauma therapist Stacy Raymond, PsyD, an expert in mental health for this extraordinary group. The daughter of a retired police officer and US Marine, Stacy brings a wealth of personal and professional insight to the table.
Dr. Raymond shares invaluable pro tips that every clinician and agency leader needs to know to effectively support veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress and other job-related issues. We explore pressing questions such as: What are some of the most common mental health issues that veterans face when working as first responders? How critical is trauma-informed care in treating this specific population? Moreover, Dr. Raymond identifies the most effective strategies and therapeutic techniques for addressing PTSI and other trauma-related conditions in veteran first responders.
We dive into the nuances of building trust and rapport with clients who have a military background, considering the potential for stigma and reluctance to seek help. Dr. Raymond provides a step-by-step approach that clinicians can adopt to create a safe and supportive environment for their clients. Tune in to gain expert insights and practical strategies that can make a significant difference in the lives of veteran first responders.
