'In search of 3 am friends' ... Journey through the darkness of post-traumatic stress

David Berez served twenty years as a New Jersey Police Officer and, during those decades, discovered the darkness of Post Traumatic Stress. The loneliness that accompanies PTS and the feelings of isolation are often so debilitating that officers take their own lives at a startling rate. Learning to cope often comes from finding a “3 am friend” or someone you know you can count on anytime during a time of need.

David’s book. “A Resilient Life: A Cops Journey in Pursuit of Purpose” describes how the challenges of policing can affect those who serve and offers a pathway to purpose through resilience.
