Those in uniform keep our world safe and often pay a high price for fulfilling their duty mentally and emotionally. Retired Sergeant Eric Weaver can attest to this, as he lives with mental illness and struggled with the issue of suicide on numerous occasions, including multiple hospitalizations, while serving as a police sergeant. In Overcoming the Darkness, he gives a raw accounting of his own experiences coupled with knowledge and pragmatic advice gained from 20 years of instructing literally thousands in law enforcement about mental illness, substance use, PTSD, and suicide.

Sir,
I just finished your book today and I have to say it was more than I expected. Thank you for sharing your story, experience, and wisdom.
I too am a Sergeant, 25 years with the same agency. I've just about seen it all and done it all, including having an OIS. I began our Peer Support program at my agency after our Sheriff asked for someone to step up and start it. I did it mostly because I love the people I work with and partly because I was struggling myself. Over the past two years, I've started therapy with EMDR and have learned many things.
I plan on using some of your thoughts on breaking the stigma if that's okay with you. Again, great book. Thank you, Jeff Carpenter.
