FIRST RESPONDER WELLNESS PODCAST EPISODE #111
When the Helper Breaks: The Untold Trauma Inside Corrections
In this profoundly moving conversation, former corrections sergeant and mental health advocate Syndi Treece shares the emotional truth of working inside America’s prisons—where trauma is constant, connection is complicated, and silence can destroy lives. Syndi opens up about losing nine colleagues in six months, becoming numb from years of suppressing her own pain, and ultimately rebuilding herself through breathwork, vulnerability, and honest community. Now serving as President of the Los Angeles chapter of Promise to Live, Syndi helps first responders and veterans find hope through connection and compassion. This episode is essential for anyone working in public safety, leadership, mental health, or who has ever felt the pressure of being “the strong one.”

How the Ontario Provincial Police Supports Their People: How Ontario Built One of the Most Comprehensive First Responder Wellness Systems in North America
Guest: Rob Jamieson, Retired OPP Sergeant & Former President, Ontario Provincial Police Association
Host: Conrad Weaver
Episode OverviewThis powerful and far-reaching conversation with retired Ontario Provincial Police Sergeant and former OPP Association President Rob Jamieson dives into the creation of one of the most comprehensive first-responder mental-health programs in North America. Across his 30-year policing career, Jamieson witnessed firsthand the cost of untreated trauma, the painful impact of stigma, and the devastating consequences of suicide within the OPP.
Rob shares the pivotal turning points—from multiple member suicides, to his own diagnosis of complex PTSD, to listening to grieving families—that drove him to spearhead the development of Encompas, a 24/7/365 concierge-model wellness program serving thousands of OPP members and their families.
He discusses the legislative victories, unlimited psychological benefits, critical crisis interventions, and culture-shifting leadership practices that helped transform mental-health support in Ontario policing. He also highlights the profound financial benefits: the program saves the province millions while keeping members healthier, more connected, and at work.
This episode is a roadmap for leaders who want to build a healthier culture, reduce stigma, and create meaningful, structural support for their responders. Rob’s story is both deeply personal and broadly inspiring—a blueprint for what is possible when leaders decide to truly care for their people.
About the GuestRob Jamieson is a retired OPP Sergeant, former President & CEO of the Ontario Provincial Police Association, and a national leader in first-responder mental-health reform. His work helped shape the development of the Encompas Wellness Program—recognized as one of the most integrated and comprehensive mental-health programs for police personnel in Canada.

How to Relieve Stress in One Minute: A Practical Tool for First Responders with Marie Matteson
Guest:Marie Matteson, MS – Former Volunteer EMT, Medical Massage Therapist, Stress & Emotion Regulation Specialist, Author of One Minute Stress Release
Episode Description
Stress is baked into the job for first responders—but what if you had a simple, practical tool you could use in about a minute, right in the middle of real life?
In this episode, Conrad sits down with Marie Matteson, a longtime EMS volunteer turned stress specialist, who has dedicated her work to “helping the helpers.” Marie shares how her experience as an EMT, combined with her background in applied health studies and medical massage, led her to develop the One Minute Stress Release technique—something that has helped medics, officers, dispatchers, and even herself through overwhelming situations.
Marie tells powerful stories, including how she supported a police officer who suddenly couldn’t qualify with his weapon due to accumulated stress, and how she personally used this technique to survive the devastating back-to-back suicides of both her parents in 2001. She explains how stress layers in the nervous system, why peer supporters are at high risk for overload, and how a simple hand position and eye movement pattern can help separate the emotional charge from the memory.
If you’re a first responder, a peer supporter, or someone who carries the weight of others’ crises, this conversation gives you a tool you can start using immediately.

EPISODE 107Small Deposits, Big Returns: A Realistic Wellness Plan for Agencies - Andy Wilson
Director Andy Wilson, Ohio’s Director of Public Safety, joins Conrad Weaver to talk frankly about the human cost of public safety work and what leaders must do to protect the people who protect us. Andy explains how chronic and acute stress shorten careers and lives, why proactive — not just reactive — wellness matters, and how simple, practical programs (fitness, nutrition, hands-on skills, mindset, and relationships) reduce sick time, complaints, and burnout. He also shares concrete training ideas, how to build cultural buy-in from the top and the shift level, and what leaders can do today to start changing their agencies.
Episode: First Responder Wellness Podcast — Director Andy Wilson on proactive wellness, training, and leadershipHost: Conrad WeaverGuest: Director Andy Wilson, Director of Public Safety, State of Ohio
Top takeaways
Wellness is life-preserving — physical fitness can literally save lives on duty and post-career health.
Trauma is layered: critical incidents, day-to-day exposure, and vicarious trauma all accumulate.
Proactive wellness (not just reactive counseling after critical incidents) reduces downstream problems.
Training must be regular and accessible — skills are perishable. Start small and scale people in.
Leaders lead by example — visible participation wins culture change.
First step: listen to your people, identify champions, build a modest, measurable pilot, and communicate outcomes to stakeholders.

Title: Do Plant-Based Medicines Work? with Todd YoungbloodGuest: Todd Youngblood, Co-Founder of PneumogladiusHost: Conrad Weaver, First Responder Wellness Podcast
In this episode, Conrad Weaver sits down with Todd Youngblood, co-founder of Pneuma Gladius, a company dedicated to expanding access to plant-based medicines for mental health treatment. Todd shares the fascinating history and science behind natural psychedelic substances like psilocybin (magic mushrooms), ayahuasca, and mescaline — and how these naturally occurring compounds are showing tremendous promise in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
The conversation dives into the stigma and myths surrounding psychedelics, the legal landscape evolving across the U.S., and how structured, intentional use of these substances — under proper guidance — can help individuals gain new perspectives on trauma and create lasting change. Todd also explains how these treatments differ from traditional medications, why they’re not meant for long-term use, and how they promote neuroplasticity and personal growth.
Conrad and Todd discuss the parallels between natural wellness approaches — like exercise, breathing, and time in nature — and the growing understanding that healing doesn’t always come from pharmaceuticals alone.

105 - You Can't Delegate Wellness - Chief Maggie DeBoard (Ret.)
In this episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, host Conrad Weaver welcomes retired Chief Maggie (of a local law enforcement agency in Virginia) who spent 38 years in the field—26 in a large agency and 13 leading a mid‑sized one. Now in retirement she heads the Foundation for First Responder Wellness & Resiliency, focusing on ensuring first responders have the resources they need.
The conversation explores how wellness in the first responder world has evolved—and how much further it still needs to go. Maggie outlines three kinds of leadership responses to wellness: those who ignore it, those who implement programs “just to check a box,” and those who lead by example, participate, and change culture. She explains that culture and leadership matter more than any flashy program or funding line.
Maggie recounts implementing a wellness program in her agency that included annual wellness checks, peer support, nap/sleep rooms, and tracking outcomes like peer‑contacts and sick leave. In that agency sick leave dropped 16 % the first year, and peer contacts doubled—signs of trust and early success in changing culture.
She emphasizes that wellness isn’t a “bright spotlight” issue—it’s private, personal, often invisible—and yet leadership must own it, not delegate it. She also highlights the risk of invisible injuries (trauma, brain injury, PTSD) and the need for structural support (legislation, workers’ comp, clinician access), especially for dispatch/telecommunicators and retirees who often get overlooked.
Maggie closes with a powerful reminder: “Strong people break too.” She stresses the ongoing work of change, the need for honest culture, and the fact that wellness must be woven into every aspect of agency life—not just a program but a mindset.
Key take‐aways:
Leadership sets the tone: you can’t outsource the priority of wellness.
Culture change takes time (3‑5 years) and it starts with how people treat each other internally.
Wellness programs must include peer support + clinical care + accessible processes—not just apps or check‑the‑box solutions.
Invisible injuries matter and carry high liability if ignored.
Data and measurement matter: outcomes like sick leave, peer contacts, trust indicators signal change.
Retirees, dispatchers, telecommunicators often fall through the cracks.
Even when systems change, strong leadership keeps them alive beyond one leader’s term.
📝 Show Notes
Episode Title: “When Wellness Isn’t a Bright Light: Leadership, Culture & First Responder Care with Retired Chief Maggie”Guest: Retired Chief Maggie – 38 years in law enforcement, past President of Virginia Chiefs of Police, founder of Foundation for First Responder Wellness & ResiliencyHost: Conrad Weaver
In this episode we cover:
Maggie’s background: 26 years in a large agency, 13 years leading a midsize agency + statewide leadership.
How conversations around first responder wellness have evolved and the three leadership types she sees.
Concrete wellness initiatives: annual wellness checks, peer support team, sleep‑room for night shift, culture contract, tracking metrics.
Culture vs. program: why wellness must be embedded in how you treat people, not just what you roll out.
Invisible injuries: brain trauma, PTSD, dispatch/telecommunicator stresses, retirees.
Data, outcomes, and how to make the case for budget/support: survey results, sick leave drop, peer contacts rise.
Advice for leaders: you cannot delegate the ownership of wellness; incremental change is still progress.

Final reminder: “Strong people break too.”
Quotes to highlight:
“Wellness is not a bright light issue.”
“You can’t delegate a priority on wellness — you have to take the lead.”
“When your troops don’t trust your leadership, no program will fix that.”
“Strong people break too.”
“There is no one solution to wellness.”
Who should listen?Leaders in law enforcement, fire, EMS – anyone responsible for first responder wellness. Also first responders themselves, peer‑support coordinators, HR/agency wellness staff, and retiree support networks.
