About Robert

Dr. Robert Harris began his first responder career in the military and law enforcement over 25 years ago, protecting and serving others. Very early in his extensive career, Robert witnessed many first responders lose their friends, family, careers, freedom, and even their lives due to the stress and trauma of the job. He rose through the ranks at the sheriff’s department from Deputy to Captain while also earning a Ph.D. in Psychology. Robert also suffered from his own job-related mental health challenges for many of those years. Drawing on his expertise, personal experience, and passion for helping others, Robert took the stage to reach first responders and their leaders, aiming to protect their mental well-being from needless sacrifice.

​

Today, Robert’s talks and workshops educate, motivate, and inspire leaders to prioritize first responder mental health. He helps first responders unapologetically protect themselves by putting their own mental health first to be better peers, friends, parents, partners, and public servants.

​

Robert is a highly sought-after speaker and consultant for all leadership and first responders including police, fire, EMS, emergency communicators, and more.
