Navigating work and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after trauma
Join us for an impactful livestream event where former first-responder, Daryl Elliot Green, will share his remarkable journey of surviving two gunshot wounds and dealing with the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) he experienced following the attack. He will candidly discuss his road to recovery that included rediscovering passions for travel, skiing, hiking, and running.
Speaker
In 2000, Daryl's life changed forever when he was shot twice in the face and shoulder. Despite critical injuries, he immediately responded by protecting his colleagues and residents while searching for the gunman. His bravery that night earned him the highest police award and a citation from Australia's Governor General.
Over the next seven years, Daryl underwent over a dozen facial reconstructive surgeries while battling severe depression and chronic PTSD. He later returned to the police force, where he earned three promotions and a master's degree in finance. He also confronted his greatest fear—guns.
Today, Daryl is a Lifeline Ambassador and speaker—drawing on his personal experiences to inspire individual, leaders and teams that bravery, courage, and resilience are within us all.
