In this episode of Responder Resilience, we sit down with Erin Nugent, a former police officer turned First Responder Wellness Coach. Erin shares her journey from frontline service to civilian life, discussing the personal challenges she faced and the strategies that have worked for her. She aims to destigmatize mental health through open conversations on her radio show.
We also explore Erin’s experiences as a firefighter’s spouse and how that relationship shapes her support approach during the ups and downs of active duty. Learn how she manages the reentry phase when her partner returns from a shift and discover practical tips for discussing mental health with loved ones.
We also discuss the differences between coaching, peer support, and clinical therapy, highlighting how these roles intersect. Join us for a heartfelt discussion that champions healing and resilience within the first responder community.
