In 2021, Pat joined Canadian Critical Incident Inc., as a co-instructor. Since that time, he has helped to facilitate and instruct Crisis Communications courses to hundreds of first responders.

As a result, he has developed and delivers very successful and highly sought-after training courses in both disciplines.
Pat is certified in Mental Health First Aid and Crisis Intervention and an advocate for mental health awareness due to his struggles with Anxiety, Depression and PTSD.
