00:00.510 --> 00:03.140
- Many times in the law enforcement side.

00:03.140 --> 00:04.340
You're one of the first ones there.

00:04.340 --> 00:08.890
Either you find the deceased
or you are consoling

00:08.890 --> 00:11.800
the family member who did find him first.

00:11.800 --> 00:15.480
I don't think a lot of
people realize how traumatic

00:15.480 --> 00:17.920
of an event that can be
for those loved ones.

00:17.920 --> 00:20.229
They always wonder what could we have done

00:20.229 --> 00:23.320
to help them realize they were loved

00:23.320 --> 00:24.927
and this wasn't nessasary.

00:28.930 --> 00:30.940
There's a ton of resources available

00:30.940 --> 00:35.160
and in my perspective the
single most effective resource

00:35.160 --> 00:36.480
that the military's made available

00:36.480 --> 00:38.980
to our members is the Directors
of Psychological Health.

00:38.980 --> 00:40.880
So I would encourage anybody to reach out

00:40.880 --> 00:41.920
to those individuals.

00:41.920 --> 00:43.240
To get that help that

00:43.240 --> 00:45.240
they might not even know that they need.

00:49.660 --> 00:53.530
Leaders have a responsibility
and it is difficult.

00:53.530 --> 00:55.680
But sometimes the best thing

00:55.680 --> 00:58.750
to do is just sit down with their member

00:58.750 --> 01:00.100
and start the conversation.
