The NOWAK Society presents Lieutenant Sarko Gergerian.  Lieutenant Sarko Gergerian is trained in psychedelic-assisted therapies, including ketamine and MDMA therapies for depression and trauma.  Lt. Sarko re-imagines the relationship between police and psychedelic culture and what it might look like for police officers to access psychedelic-assisted therapy.  Lieutenant Sarko Gergerian is a police officer, therapist, and founding member of the Community and Law Enforcement Assisted Recovery Program (C.L.E.A.R.). C.L.E.A.R. is a novel community policing methodology that has demonstrated success in uniting public safety with public health through people with lived experience. Lieutenant Sarko gets to the heart of things: the very philosophy behind law enforcement and how to make a real impact on communities and public safety. Traumatic stress and depression among law enforcement is higher than you might think. Over one-third of law enforcement experience post-traumatic stress. Law enforcement face a 54% greater risk of dying by suicide than the general population. And yet few seek support for the external and internal challenges they’re up against. Stigma is very real. The idea of needing “tough skin” to do the job is a pervasive roadblock to being able to openly explore what’s really going on. Let’s rehumanize the person behind the uniform. Lieutenant Sarko Gergerian of the Public Safety and Health Department of Winthrop, Massachusetts seeks to break the silence and explore together what it means for law enforcement to bridge the divide from trauma to connection.Hosted by: UCCS Mycological SocietyAdditional Information can be found at: https://mlc.uccs.edu/event/11276868
