Joni Bonilla of Operation At Ease is a professional dog trainer, who is fighting to help treat 1st responder Post Traumatic Stress and the stigma within EMS with the use of specialized service dogs. We sit down with her in a Skype interview and discuss her program and how she has helped the lives of many first responders and veterans with her cutting edge service dog program. This is a must listen episode for May, National Mental Health month.
In today's episode of the #medicmaterialspodcast we speak with Joni Bonilla, a professional dog trainer who has created a Service Dog training program for First Responders and Veterans. This program aims to heal wounds caused by Post Traumatic Stress and shed light on the stigma of Post Traumatic Stress in the First Responder community. This is an informative and inspirational conversation and we hope you will reach out if you believe you're in need of one of Joni's service dogs or want to help support her cause. We are joined with Emily (NYS EMT, ER-RN), Kelsey (NYS EMT) & Gerard (NYS AEMT-P)
