Join us as we bring you Jerry Lund, a seasoned firefighter, paramedic, law enforcement officer, and the host of the Enduring the Badge Podcast. Jerry fearlessly dives into the crucial yet often overlooked topic of mental health in the first responder community. You will hear Jerry share his journey of battling the silent struggles that come with the demanding and often traumatic nature of the job.

Having experienced the harrowing cycle of suffering, including grappling with suicidal ideation, Jerry understands firsthand the stigma surrounding mental health within the responder community. But he didn't stop at seeking help for himself—now, he's on a mission to break down the barriers preventing others from accessing the support they need.

Jerry, Brindy and Matt shed light on the challenges faced by those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting others. They boldly challenge leadership and administrators in the First Responder Community to make the changes necessary to better support their responders. The needless suffering from PTSD, burnout, addiction, depression, and other issues must end. It is time to demand a greater commitment to fostering a culture of wellness within the first responder community.

This episode offers invaluable insights, support, and hope for those navigating the complex intersection of duty, resilience, and self-care. Tune in to join in on our mission to ensure that no first responder suffers in silence.
