In this compelling episode, we sit down with Lieutenant Andrew Kane, a seasoned veteran of the FDNY with three decades of experience. Drew was on the front lines at Ground Zero during 9/11 and has committed his life to supporting firefighters and their families in navigating mental health and substance abuse challenges. As the Deputy Director of the FDNY Counseling Services Unit, he brings invaluable insights into behavioral health trends and the future of fire service wellness.
We tackle pressing issues affecting first responders, including trauma, effective mental health support strategies, and ways to cultivate a healthier culture within the firefighting community. Tune in for practical advice and thought-provoking perspectives that could make a real difference for those who serve on the front lines.
