CHI FOR YOURSELF guest: Captain Dan Willis

Captain Dan Willis is an author and active duty police officer with more than 25 years of experience and a leader of Peer Support/Emotional Survival classes for first responders.

Statistics and headlines speak for themselves as first responders fall victim to destructive habits and disorders, including alcoholism, gambling, depression, PTSD, emotional illness, divorce and broken families and worse — spousal abuse, murder, and suicide.

In this CHI FOR YOURSELF interview, Capt. Willis tells John Kobik how first responders and their loved ones can protect and nurture their spirits, and also how to seek help and make effective use of the help that exists, from professionals, peers, and families.

Captain Dan Willis is the author of  Bulletproof Spirit: The First Responder’s Essential Resource for Protecting and Healing Mind and Heart.
