In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Trevor Kauer, a researcher and professor of interpersonal, family, and health communication at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Dr. Kauer draws on his experiences as an EMT and working in a rural fire department to shape his research and understand the lived experiences of first responders.
He is an expert in mental health among first responders, particularly their experience of stress, trauma, and difficulty.
Driven by his passion for creating and testing practical mental health tools and interventions for first responders, Dr. Kauer is dedicated to being part of the change in the field.
Please listen in as Dr. Kauer and I discuss the results of his latest study, learn from Dr. Kauer's unique perspective as both a first responder and professor, and explore innovative strategies, such as the expressive writing intervention, that have shown positive results in improving mental health.
