ep30

In this episode of Beyond the 1st Response, Christy and Robyn talk to Calvin Paries, DR, PH, LMFT, CEAP, who oversees a Profile EAP for Centura Health.

The Myth About EAP

“Why would you call the EAP? Now HR is going to know that you are struggling.” This is often a misconception for many, but especially in the first responder world. The truth is, HR doesn’t have access to who uses the EAP, just the number of people that do. Who is privy to the information that you may have contacted EAP is really totally up to you. 

Vetting the EAP

This can feel a little overwhelming, especially when in crisis. So the recommendation is to start now before you need it. Understanding the program that your department has is vital to add the tools to your duty bag. Most EAPs now have different options to contact; in person, through telehealth, over the phone, or by text. According to Calvin, Centura Health has partnered with BetterHelp to increase the reach of employees’ comfort levels. Whether you are calling because of marriage issues, financial issues, or work-related stressors, make sure to ask for a licensed therapist that is knowledgeable on the first responder mindset. 

LERF

For whoever you confide in, one trait they should have is the ability to Listen with Empathy, Respond, and Follow up. Another trait is if they are not professional, it’s ok, they don’t need to try and fix the issue; they just need to listen for curiosity, not listen to fix. Often, just talking to someone you trust, will help you through.

It's Autumn up here in Michgan, but this week there are April Skies at the Hear:30 Podcast.  The J's dive into a Shoegaze(?) album that is considered a classic by some:  The Darklands by The Jesus & Mary Chain.  But, do we like it? Listen and find out this week on Hear:30!

 The Hear:30 podcast is a weekly Podcast hosted by music lovers, Joe Kylman, Josh Adams and John Adams.   We are 3 middle age dudes from the Midwest who want to listen to music that we have never heard before...that we should have. A completely random album is chosen from THE RANDOMIZER and we talk about it...love it or hate it.

Hey there, I know things have been a bit quiet around here recently. I've been deep in teacher mode the last few months. In this episode, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you so much for listening, share some cool stats & highlights from "Season 1" of the podcast, and a give a sneak peak of the expanded vision, new content and collaboration we've got in the works for season 2, which will be launching very soon. 

Episode 30 warrants a major topic, and so the crew are in full swing this week discussing the different styles of mid-lane heroes. From farmers and pushers to dominators and tempos, the trio cover how certain heroes want to play the mid lane and where they want to be moving on the map. Why a hero's kit or match-up is suited to playing such a way is also touched and the talk is littered with general tips and strats for playing mid.

In a week where Nintendo has transformed from cuddly, family-friendly company to hate-coding bigots (depending on who you talk to you, anyway), we largely ignore that - for now - and put our collective mind to the latest Call of Duty, Project Morpheus' terrifying shark demo, the Amplitude Kickstarter, Nintendo's other big problem and an interesting challenge that combines storytelling with expert punmanship. Episode 30, you guys.
