Kevin Polky - The Journey

A Firefighter Fighting for His Brothers and Sisters Jeff fell in love with being a firefighter when he was in his early 30’s. He quickly climbed the career ladder. When his peers returned from working the Katrina Hurricane, he witnessed something in fellow firefighters that he knew he had to address. They were struggling with what they were exposed to. The secondary trauma and PTSD was haunting. He has since been leading the charge into the darkness of the mental health of firefighters. He has created a national program, Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance (FFBHA). This is a great conversation on Jeff’s experience, knowledge and passion to be a Light in the darkness.
