Kind Words
“ This publication is not just theoretical - one author, Miloknay, is a retired sergeant from the Halton Regional Police Service, a social worker, and a professor at Mohawk College in Hamilton Ontario…In my professional opinion, Miloknay and Laferriere’s Mental Health Awareness: Self-Care for First Responders should be the “go-to” text found in duty-bags and backpacks of all emergency professionals.”
