Fire Captain Shane Brown of Fresno, CA Fire Department and IAFF Local 202 Fresno
International Association of Fire Fighters Center Of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery alumni, Captain Shane Brown of the Fresno, CA Fire Department and IAFF Local 202 will share his behavioral health treatment story. Shane’s journey toward mental wellness was not an easy road to walk. Unbeknownst to him, Shane was experiencing post-traumatic stress related symptoms and initially struggled with the idea of admitting to treatment. His symptoms and related life challenges were not glaringly problematic or obvious, so he wasn’t sure who or where to turn. Eventually, Shane admitted to the IAFF Center of Excellence and was able to get the help he needed. Since discharging from treatment and returning home, Shane has made it his mission to spread awareness to the various behavioral health needs of fire fighters and helpful treatment options available to his brothers, sisters, and their loved ones.
Participation in this webinar will provide attendees with the strength and hope of one of their own. Shane will discuss the events that led to his decision to admit to treatment, give insight into what happens during treatment, and how members can continue to be successful in recovery after they return home.
