Beyond the Badge: Faith, Healing, and Mental Health in First Responders

Join us for a powerful Faith@Work Lunch with Deputy Brody Merrill, his wife Jenna, and Erica Overshiner, MSW, LICSW, as they share their experiences in a panel discussion on faith, healing, and mental health.

Brody will share his story of surviving a line-of-duty shooting and the loss of his co-worker, Josh Owens, and how faith and support helped him heal. Jenna will offer her perspective as the wife of a first responder, discussing the challenges they faced and the role of faith in their journey. Erica will facilitate the conversation, focusing on the mental health challenges faced by first responders and the importance of seeking help.

This event will equip attendees with insights on how to support first responders and the significance of mental health healing in the workplace and community.

Lunch is Free — please RSVP!
