The Allred, White & Blue Podcast

In this episode, we are joined by Rachael Belcher, Baltimore County Paramedic. Rachael helps us get to the heart of what matters when it comes to on-duty grief.

Join Mike Allred and friends (Dave, Kevin, Koz, Todd and The Captain) as they discuss what is arguably one of the most important topics we have ever covered. Are you a First Responder, or are you close to one? Maybe you're in a relationship with one, or considering it. Then this is an episode that you do not want to miss!

In our conversation with Rachael, we get into the effects of being exposed to the day to day trauma that First Responders face. Whether dealing with minor occurrences, or major losses, knowing what to look for and the long term effects of trauma is crucial. In today's podcast, Rachael helps us to be more cognizant of the red flags and provides strategies and mechanisms to address what we find. PLEASE, do yourself, and your loved ones, a favor and check this one out!
