Bryan Mokrisky joins us to share his journey of service, as a soldier, in law enforcement, and now as the Public Safety Wellness Coordinator for the town of Stoughton Ma. Bryan talks about serving in the Army as a Military Police Soldier, his time spent working for the Sherriff's Dept as a corrections officer, serving as a Police Officer in the town he grew up in, and the valuable lessons he learned along the way. While working in law enforcement Bryan served on a SWAT team, as an instructor within his dept on firearms, tasers, less than lethal munitions, and had additional duties as an armorer and a field training officer. In this episode we discusses ethical dilemma's, moral injury, duty stress, how the job effected him personally, and how communication problems began to develop at home for Bryan. Bryan also shares with us about the psychological state he was in leading up to, and in the moments he chose to leave his profession as a first responder, how he had the phone number of a peer support member and reached out for help, how he began to heal personally, and how his life began to improve as a result. Today Bryan has dedicated himself personally and professionally to wellness, and works to improve conditions for first responders as the Wellness Coordinator for Stoughton Ma, where he grew up, worked as a cop, and continues to serve.
