Thank you again for the opportunity to speak at the Rocky Mountain Police and Fire Chaplains Annual Meeting. It was a true honor to share time with each of you and to explore ways we can integrate financial wellness into the vital chaplaincy and wellness programs that support our first responders.
If anything we discussed sparked ideas or questions—or if you’re interested in exploring more ways to incorporate financial care into your ministry or department—I’d love to connect further. I’m here as a resource and partner in helping you support the people who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our communities.
I’m genuinely looking forward to continuing the relationship with each of you. Thank you again to all the chaplains, police, and fire personnel not only for welcoming me but for all you do every day. It’s a privilege to share in the mission of serving those who serve us.
Let’s keep the conversation going.
Mind Spa is a combat veteran-owned and operated outpatient mental health clinic in Denver specializing in the treatment of PTSD, TBI, depression, and anxiety, particularly when traditional approaches haven’t worked. Our integrated treatment protocol combines Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Ketamine Infusion Therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and culturally competent talk therapy. We typically see symptom remission in just 14–17 days, which can be a game-changer for first responders navigating acute stress, burnout, or major life transitions.
