Thank you to Sgt. Lacey Nelson for taking the time to join The Overwatch Collective Podcast to share her experience in Law Enforcement and discuss mental health amongst our community.

Tune in to this episode to learn about her time in Juvenile Hall, Corrections, Patrol, and becoming a supervisor. Lacey does a great job of breaking down the importance of noticing the signs of a member struggling from a supervisor standpoint, which isn't discussed nearly enough.

Thank you again Lacey and hope everyone enjoys this episode.

David Edwards shares his journey from personal tragedy to leading mental health initiatives for first responders. We discuss the importance of resilience, peer support, and proactive mental health strategies to reduce suicide rates among first responders.

The Call For Backup Suicide Awareness and Prevention Campaign is built upon the principle that peers are best suited to help one another. The stigma of seeking help for stress-related issues, and departments’ seeming lack of support, have caused many first responders to continue to suffer needlessly.
