Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is ask for help. Men face a stigma about that, too.

My guest today is Laverne Friesen. He is a former first responder who is passionate about raising awareness around the stigma of mental health after experiencing his own mental health crisis. Now, as a transformation coach, Laverne shares the wisdom he gained from his traumatic experiences to help others live fulfilling lives.

Laverne shares his experience as a sexual abuse survivor in a fundamentalist family who went on to become a police officer and hid his mental health crisis for years.

He shares what kept him going, the tools that helped him turn his life around, and the three-year-old angel that brought him back from the brink of suicide.

Through it all, the stigma of what other people would think about him if they knew how badly he felt kept him quiet.
