PTSD911 Presents: Jeff & Shawn Thomas, 1st Responder Conferences

Host: Conrad Weaver, Producer/Director PTSD911 Documentary Guests: Jeff & Shawn Thomas, 1st Responder Conferences

ABOUT JEFF & SHAWN Shawn is a deputy for the King County Sheriff's Office in Seattle, WA. Shawn has been a deputy for 24 years and Jeff recently retired from the King County Sheriff's Office after 32 years.

In September 2016, Shawn's peer support captain suggested she organize a health and wellness conference for first responders and their families. The conference was a huge success and first responders reached out for assistance. That is when Shawn realized how important the conference was and other department's and organizations asked for her to organize a conference for them. In the first year they organized five conferences in Seattle, North Carolina, Florida, Texas and Arizona. Now they have had twenty-five conferences and have many more planned in the coming year. Shawn and Jeff are passionate about helping first responders because they have experienced their own difficult times and want to help guide others so they can maintain an enjoyable career and live a healthy life.
