So for me, it's about if we had been able to talk to someone and understanding: oh crap, really you're struggling with this. So we've got to look at the positive deviance, if you want to call it that, which is most people right.
Ever wondered how a career in law enforcement could lead to a passion for mental health advocacy? Clint Adams, a former Victorian police officer, takes you on his remarkable journey in this episode of 'The Never Give Up Show'. With a background in psychology and rehabilitation counseling, Clint has seen firsthand the impact of trauma and stress on individuals in high-pressure environments.
He has channeled these experiences into developing the Blue Flame Project, a series of behavioral and leadership programs designed to tackle issues like PTSD, bullying, and harassment. Clint's work isn't just limited to adults; he also focuses on teens, aiming to foster resilience and mental wellbeing from a young age. His book, 'Lighting the Blue Flame', tells the poignant story of a teen who takes his own life due to bullying but hopes his death will spark change.
Clint uses this narrative to highlight the urgent need for proactive mental health strategies in schools and communities. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, youth advocacy, or simply looking for inspiration on how to turn personal challenges into powerful change.
