Police officer mental health and alcohol use are deeply connected, but most families don't know what signs to watch for.
Alcohol is often normalized in law enforcement culture, but for many officers and families, it quietly becomes a coping mechanism for trauma, stress, and identity loss. In this Code4Couples Podcast episode, Cyndi Doyle is joined by retired police officer and peer support leader Joe Rizzuti for an honest conversation about alcohol use, addiction, and mental health in first responders.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why alcohol is commonly used as a coping mechanism in policing
Signs alcohol may be becoming a problem for officers or spouses
How trauma and job culture fuel unhealthy coping behaviors
What peer support and culturally competent mental health care actually look like
Cyndi Doyle is a licensed professional counselor supervisor, author of Hold the Line, and founder of Code4Couples®, specializing in mental health and relationship support for law enforcement and first responder families.
