On Blue Grit Radio, we are having the crucial conversation about not only resilience in first responder careers, but the worst risk of failure to do so: suicide. 

Ret. Sgt. Danny Coon didn’t always use to be an advocate for police mental health awareness and wellness.  He was of the older culture which grinded through.  As he entered retirement his eyes were opened to the significant statistics facing police suicide in and out of active duty. 

Now Danny focused his efforts through engagement in social media, his blog, podcast interviews and his book:  
“Bro;ken - Understanding the Effects of Post Traumatic Stress.”
