Show notes

Today we wanted to share an episode from a little while back. We believe that it provides immense value and there are some new listeners, so we wanted to re-post it. On this episode, Dennis sits down with retired Deputy Chief and public safety liaison, Bill Mazur, clinical expert in understanding and treating trauma, Larissa Mason and Navy SEAL and CEO and Co-Founder at Protekt, Nick Norris. Nick Norris began his career in the military as a graduate of both the United States Naval Academy and Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL (BUD/S) Class 247. Upon completion of SEAL training in 2004, Nick assumed progressively higher positions of leadership within Naval Special Warfare. His deployed roles included combat advisor to Iraqi and Afghan military units, Cross Functional Team Leader, and Ground Force Commander during combat operation in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Bill Mazur is a 25-year law enforcement veteran and retired in 2017 at the rank of Deputy Chief of Police. Bill holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Stockton University and a Master’s Degree in Human Resources Training and Development in the Police Graduate Studies Program from Seton Hall University. Bill is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, Session #256, and currently serves as a Master Instructor with the FBI National Academy Associates, in their Comprehensive Officer Resiliency Training Program. He also acts as a Liaison for the NJ State Resilience Program for law Enforcement. Additionally, Bill currently serves on the Wellness Committee for the NJ State Association of Chiefs of Police (NJSACOP) as an advisor. Larissa Mason is a clinical expert in understanding and treating trauma. She is a professional instructor for NJ State and maintains a thriving clinical practice. Currently working with clients throughout the USA and overseas, Larissa Mason focuses on areas including neurodivergent learning and responses as well as complex trauma resiliency and recovery, for both the impacted individual as well as their partner and families. Focus on professional mental health and individual resiliency regarding law enforcement and first responder stressor is emphasized. She helps individuals and families understand and work through the stressors that challenge them so they may lead healthier and happier lives. Through her career, Ms. Mason was supervisor at an adult partial care program for the severely mentally ill where she created and implemented the first clinical trauma track as a way to expound on the connection between trauma and mental health and offer appropriate support. Ms. Mason then supervised the county wide sexual assault response program for Cape May County where she directed the county’s response to interpersonal violence, both domestic violence and sexual assault. There she worked to create pediatric guidelines for responding to childhood survivors of abuse. Ms. Mason also taught clinical work on the graduate level for Rutgers University and is a published author in the Encyclopedia of Sexual Violence. Today, Dennis, Bill, Larissa and Nick sit down to discuss the mental health epidemic that plagues law enforcement, first responders and veterans across the world.
