  • First Responders You Are Not Alone | Guest Anthony Pantoja & Brian Buss
    Aug 7 2024

    Today we are joined by two retired police officers with over a decade of experience in the First Responder field. They are the driving forces behind Runestone Ranch, an organization recently awarded its 501(c)(3) status, dedicated to mental health outreach for first responders.

    Brian and Anthony have experienced trauma on the job and know firsthand the importance of peer support and mental health resources. They are here to share their personal stories and the critical mission of Runestone Ranch. Their goal is to provide first responders with the knowledge and tools needed to handle trauma and create a safe retreat environment for education and regulation techniques.

    They are passionate about raising awareness and breaking the stigma associated with seeking help, aiming to change the culture so that first responders feel empowered to seek the assistance they need.

    Join us as we dive into their journey, the importance of mental health in emergency services, and how Runestone Ranch is making a difference in the lives of those who serve our communities.

Good info but not for CA

This was a good and encouraging episode. But it isn't helpful for CA specifically Bay area people. I applied for Dispatch, completed the 75 page application and 39 page background. Passed the very hard test, interview process and was disqualified by the investigator. What I found discouraging is that I work for a Federal agency so I don't think there is anything in my background that he could have found. I actually disclosed something that was expunged from my record over 10 years ago just being honest. Passed the polygraph. I jumped through all of those hoops only to be told no. Well there is no wonder they are short handed if they are turning qualified people away with no explanation. I said I wouldn't apply again because that experience was horrible but because of this episode I might give it another go
