Have you ever met someone and just felt that instant, "you get it" feeling? That is how I felt when I first spoke with retired RCMP Staff Sergeant, Jennifer Pound. Jenn's ties to the RCMP run deep - her dad was a member, her husband is a member, other family members are members... So when she had to step back from being the face of IHIT (Integrated Homicide Investigation Team) due to mental health concerns, it was hard, and she reflects on the ways in which the leadership within the system failed her. We connect together around the challenges facing those within helping professions, the systemic issues that contribute to these challenges, and the roles of leaders in making this different.
