Retired OPP Sergeant and former OPPA Branch #1 President John Flesher is now a psychotherapist working in private practice in Sarnia. John takes referrals from the OPPA’s Encompas Mental Health Wellness Program, and is listed on the "Find a Therapist" section of EncompasCare.ca.

He joins guest host, Social Worker Carl Dalton of Dalton Associates to reduce the stigma related to mental health treatment by bringing listeners closer to the experience of being in therapy or doing self-work, both preventatively and in a moment of distress or discomfort.
