The Mind Behind the Badge: Mental Health in Law Enforcement
In this episode of Inside the Squad, we sit down with Dr. Dardeen from Suncrest Psychological Services to explore the critical topic of mental health in law enforcement. From managing daily stress and trauma to addressing the stigma that still surrounds mental wellness in policing, Dr. Dardeen offers expert insight into the emotional challenges officers face and the importance of psychological support.
We talk resilience, resources, and what departments can do to prioritize the mental well-being of those who serve. Whether you're in law enforcement or simply want a deeper understanding of what goes on behind the badge, this episode brings clarity and compassion to a topic that affects us all.
