## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jena (Casas) Kiser, a licensed Clinical and Police and Public Safety Psychologist, to dive deep into the complex world of mental health, trauma, and resilience. High-stakes environments demand a unique kind of strength, but they also carry a heavy psychological toll. Dr. Kiser shares invaluable insights on overcoming the stigma around mental health, building trust within first responder organizations, managing hypervigilance, and the power of self-compassion. We also discuss the shifting landscape of mental health, including the roles that social media and AI play today. Whether you are a first responder, a family member, or anyone navigating life's heavy challenges, this conversation offers practical wisdom for building true resilience.
