Episode 4: Paladin Officer Onkar shares what it’s like to work Healthcare Security and deal with mental health patients daily

Taking care of your mental health and well-being is so important in this day and age as we have a lot of stressors in our everyday life – from work – to family – and even money. That’s why we are doing a two-part series on the subject to help encourage people to talk about it.

In part two, we talk to Healthcare Security Officer Onkar who works in an emergency room, and shares his experience working with patients who are dealing with mental health.

“You just got to remember that at the end of the day, they are a patient, they could be dealing with some illness, and you got to try to put yourself in their shoes and be patient with them and do your best with helping them out until clinical staff can see them.”

-Security Officer Onkar
