With nearly 30 years in law enforcement, Wendy Hummell saw firsthand the need for mental health support in public safety. Now a graduate student in WSU’s clinical mental health counseling program, she’s using her experience to provide culturally competent care for first responders.
She helped lead a 60-member peer support team, launched a wellness program at the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office, and hosts the “Guns and Yoga Podcast” to spark conversations around mental health and resilience in law enforcement.
