Ep. 66 - Veteran, Jalen Auer from The Fire Watch Shares Loss, Healing, And The Tools That Help Prevent Suicide
Description
We trace Jalen Auer’s path from Air Force rescue pilot to South Florida program manager at The Fire Watch, and we go deep on grief, stigma, and the tools that save lives before a crisis explodes. A full-circle Huey Helicopter story sets up a candid look at transition, mental health, and community action that works.
• origins in Boynton Beach and drive to serve
• rescue pilot training, Huey inspiration, instructor years
• duty stations, family life, and tough transition out
• sudden loss, depression, attempts, and getting help
• clearing up PTSD myths and stigma across veteran and civilian life
• the strain on first responders and why small cracks grow
• what The Fire Watch is, who it serves, and how training works
• VA SAVE steps, 988 Press 1, and practical tools that help
• real saves after training and how to access it statewide
• holidays, vigilance, and why one trained person matters
