Called to Serve, The PodcastShow Notes
In honour of Psychology Month, we’re sharing a deeply personal special episode of #CalledtoServeThePodcast. This time, our very own host, Const. Brennan Martin, takes the guest seat for a heart-to-heart with Sgt. Angie Tetley about his journey navigating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Const. Martin shares the exact moment he knew he had reached his breaking point, the physical symptoms he endured, and the vital role psychology supports both within and outside the CPS played in his recovery.
His story highlights how imperative psychology professionals are in helping police officers manage the complex mental health challenges that come with the job and the importance of speaking up and seeking help.
