Dr. Kareem Puranda is a former police officer, clinician, author, and nonprofit founder, whose journey into mental health work was shaped by both service and consequence. In this episode, we explore how critical incidents on and off duty can fundamentally alter our career, identity and life.

Dr. Puranda now works with first responders, drawing from his experience, clinical training and years of public speaking. This conversation examines what growth actually requires when harm, responsibility and healing all exist at the same time.

Dr. Kareem Puranda also spends time doing inspirational speaking for first responders and more. If you’re interested in learning more about Dr. Puranda or contacting him, you can do so with the link below.
