Micro-Credential: Nurse Educator: Health & Wellness

In this episode, Matthew has a conversation with Andrew Douglas. He is a retired Firefighter/Paramedic that has taken his experience with job-related PTSD and started a tech company to create an app to offer support and peer assistance to the fire, EMS, and police community. We discuss common causes of PTSD in stressful professions like healthcare, the different treatment options, different sources of support, and the culture that teaches providers that they should only take care of others and not themselves. Andrew’s story is one that many individuals can probably relate to.
