First Responder
Healing After the Badge
While serving as a deputy sheriff, Michael’s life changed in an instant. In the line of duty, he was violently attacked—an incident that left him with a traumatic brain injury and a long road to recovery. The impact went beyond the physical injuries. The TBI brought lasting challenges, including balance issues, memory difficulties, and chronic pain, while the emotional toll manifested in anxiety, hypervigilance, and the lingering effects of PTSD. Once defined by his ability to protect and serve, Michael found himself facing the difficult task of adjusting to a new reality.
