Tommy Bolin, a 28 year veteran in the fire service in Columbus, Ohio. Tommy currently holds the rank of Lieutenant. Tommy joins ATTD to talk about his experience in turning his "mess into a message."
Tommy's journey is like so many others, but he has come through the other side and believes in the importance of sharing his story with the hope of letting others know they are not alone. That there are so many people out there suffering alone. Tommy remains steadfast and passionate about the need for cultural change when dealing with mental health for first responders. He truly feels this is his new purpose.
Tommy, alongside his good friend and therapy dog, work together to help spread a message of resilience and hope to other fire departments, schools and memory care facilities.
