Things I Think About

Its lonely at the top, especially if you are in law enforcement and politics are preventing you from doing your job. Should you find yourself in this situation, you might want to reach out to Eddie Campa and his firm - Leading Through Adversity. In this episode, I chat with Eddie Campa about his background in law enforcement, why he founded Leading Through Adversity and the types of clients he serves. Moreover, we discuss the "Defund the Police" movement and the usefulness of social workers in law enforcement. We also reflect on mental health hospitals and where they disappeared to. Tune in now so you can say, hey, "I didn't know that about mental health hospitals!"
