Breaking the Stigma - Mental Health and First Responders: Jasmin Peach
Join me in this Episode where I have a close friend of mine to come on the podcast to Interview me. I recently realised that many of you may not know the journey that I, myself, have been on and why I am doing this. In this episode we talk about my own experience as a First Responder and the reasons that I ended up leaving. I have healed from this journey, and I am not looking for any sympathy OR hate from what we talk about! Just creating an awareness. So please enjoy!
