Mental Health is a hot button topic in the world of emergency responders. We hear about PTS and the ultimate burnout that comes from seeing things day in and day out that no human should ever have to see. We even too often hear about suicide because the troubles get too big. What isn't being talked about enough, is the high divorce rate among responder relationships and how to guard our marriages against it.⁠

In this episode we sat down with Daniel Mills of @911buddycheck and talked about why he started the Buddy Check Project, what happens when first responders don't get help with their mental health, and how to avoid PTS leading to divorce. ⁠

Join us today as we unpack what Daniel describes as his "The Yet Factor" and how it impacts relationships in EMS. Fair warning, his story is intense, so make sure when you listen to this episode that you are in a comfortable and quiet and safe place.


The 911 Buddy Check Project is the mental health revolution.  They help providers climb and conquer the four mountains: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.  Providing peer support and personal training.  More than just talk, but actual solutions and healing.
