(Once we get the subs out of the system, we hope to be able to supply you with more information from Ric.)
Ric Jorge is a well known speaker, instructor and author in the First Responder community and a number of the lessons that he has learned transfer easily into the average person's world. A career firefighter, Jorge has made it a passion to spread the word on mental and physical health in the First responder community.
"After being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), I sought out ways to get “better.” I was on a mission to be whole again.
Quite by accident, I discovered techniques that worked extremely well to keep my anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and sleeplessness in check. I developed these new techniques and refined them to benefit me further. I was now on a mission. I shamelessly stalked sports and military psychologists about these techniques. I hounded researchers about specific work they had done and even went so far as to visit neurologists just to talk to them about the way the brain works."

As mentioned, Ric doesn't just talk putting out fires, he and other's in the First responder Community cover a wide range of topics, most lately, the plague of suicide among First Responders.
