Driving Foreward

It has been 20 years since I was discharged from the Army and this is the first time I have been able to wear my medals. As a US Army veteran serving in the RCMP, policy prevented me from wearing them, or my wings, which were proudly earned. They were freed from the shadow box display for today’s ceremony. Probably screwed something up but I represented and that’s all that matters…like I said, it’s been 20 years! 😊 #veteransday🇺🇸 #remembranceday #veteran #servicedog Courageous Companions Driving Foreward

Let’s talk about managing self talk: Negativity bias is when our brain focuses more on bad experiences than good ones. It’s natural, but it can get in the way of how we see things and how we perform. In this video, I’m going to show you a quick way to use self-talk to break that cycle and stay focused on what really matters. #helpingourheroes #mentalhealthmatters #manageselftalk #strongertogether #firstresponders #MindfulnessInAction #BreachTheStigma #performance #warriorfocus

4 Essential Techniques to Calm Your Mind Before a Shift or Call: 1️⃣ Tactical Breathing Exercises: Practice controlled breathing to reduce stress. Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Repeat to bring calm and focus. 2️⃣ Positive Self-Talk: Shift your mindset with empowering phrases. Remind yourself, “I am prepared,” or “I can handle whatever comes my way.” 3️⃣ Visualization: Mentally walk through a successful shift. Picture yourself managing tasks confidently, staying calm in stressful moments, and ending your shift strong. 4️⃣ Prep Routine: Establish a consistent pre-shift routine. Whether it’s laying out your gear or enjoying a quiet moment with your coffee, a routine creates stability and prepares you mentally for the day ahead. Building mental resilience starts before the shift even begins.

Suicide prevention should be everyone’s priority because everyone matters. Our Warriors Resiliency Program is dedicated to military and first responders—heroes who face mental health battles daily, with suicide rates four times higher than the general public. We also use golf as a powerful tool in our program, so when i heard that October 1 was also the birthday of professional golfer Grayson Murray, who tragically lost his battle to suicide, it was a sobering reminder of how big our mission truly is. Mental health matters—let’s break the stigma and save lives. #YouMatter #SuicidePrevention #BreachTheStigma #WarriorsResiliency #GolfForGood #MentalHealthMatters

Raising Awareness Matters Today’s experience at the President’s Cup was a powerful reminder of how important it is to raise awareness. The fact that so many volunteers were relieved by how smoothly things went this morning shows that it’s not just about one person or one service dog—it’s about creating an environment of kindness, understanding, and doing what’s right for everyone. Great work as always Sue Harvey #breachthestigma

🎥 The Importance of Awareness 🎥 Today, I almost missed out on the President’s Cup. Why? A security supervisor was unaware of the laws surrounding service dogs. Thankfully, a kind police officer stepped in and set things right. But this experience made me think – how many others face similar barriers due to a lack of awareness? It’s time for organizers and associations like the PGA to take a closer look at how they handle accessibility and inclusivity. We can do better. We must do better. Let’s open up the conversation – how can we improve accessibility at major events? Drop your thoughts below and let’s push for change together. 👇💬 #AccessibilityMatters #ServiceDogs #PresidentsCup #DrivingForeward #InclusionForAll #disabledveteran #ptsdawareness #veteranservicedog #MentalHealthAwareness PGA TOUR Presidents Cup Global Disability Inclusion, LLC Driving Foreward
