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
