By now you all know that I'm a ginormous proponent of Peer Support, not just in policy but in actualized culture. Today, I am joined by a personal colleague and friend who I have known through my existence at my PD- and more so in my increased peer support involvement in the last several years. Pat Ellis is my department's (and our local fire dept's) chaplain and crisis intervention coordinator.
In our discussion, we talk about his background, growing up around emergency services, his personal call to service, and how chaplaincy ranges from solely outward facing to the more efficacious dual-facing dynamic. We discuss themes in building peer support and wellness culture as well as first responder dynamics to help us navigate our relationships and lives both on and off duty.
