SUCCESS STORIES

“As a Vietnam vet, I saw many Marines come home with physical and mental problems. During my time as a homicide detective, I saw many things a human should not see. I also have had good friends in law enforcement suffer from mental problems to the point of suicide. Never has any of the agencies I have worked for ever come up with a course of instruction to deal with the brain injuries we suffer from seeing horrific scenes, with the exception of therapy and drugs. I have been to the FREEdom First Aid℠ course and have used the methods described in it to deal with my own problems and have used it to help others. This course should be taught in boot camp and in law enforcement academies before the recruits ever see the things they will see, so they can learn to deal with them then and there, not 10 years down the road when they are having problems. I truly believe that if this type of instruction was available to many in the beginning of their law enforcement careers or time spent in the Armed Forces, there would be a lot less mental problems suffered.”
