In this Clinician’s Guide for mental health professionals and savvy first responders, we sit down with Wendy Hummell, a retired detective turned health and wellness manager. We’ll dive into the challenges of introducing wellness to Law enforcement culture, the need for supportive internship programs, and how first responders can transition into second careers as therapists. Wendy shares strategies for cultivating culturally competent therapists through internships and from within the ranks of first responders, discussing how their unique experiences can enrich therapeutic practices. Perfect for mental health clinicians and anyone interested in the future of first responder wellness, this conversation is packed with practical solutions and key takeaways.
