My guest this episode is my dear friend and colleague Evelyn Arnold, a firefighter/paramedic and licensed mental health counselor that I had the pleasure of working with several years ago. We talk about her work with peer support programs, the unique challenges of maintaining good mental health as a first responder and my own journey this year with UCF Restores, a PTSD treatment program geared for veterans and first responders.\\xa0
