About this listen

First responders carry invisible burdens, and leadership can make the difference between isolation and healing. Shane Hewitt speaks with Laura Kloosterman, Executive Director of Badge of Life Canada, and Derek Sienko, Chief Mental Health Officer at Diversified Rehabilitation Group, about the power of community, peer support, and trauma-informed leadership in public safety. The discussion explores how operational stress injuries affect not only first responders but also their families and teams, emphasizing compassion and connection as essential tools for resilience. Together, they unpack why safe spaces, understanding, and authentic leadership are key to long-term recovery.
