He then volunteered as a mentor with the Sir Richard Branson Entrepreneur Program in the Caribbean, and the American Corporate Partners in the United States, working with military personnel transitioning from military life to civilian life. His experience in law enforcement coupled with working with people suffering from PTSD has afforded him a unique view of mentoring and mental health. Doug has worked with researchers and has determined that there is a role for his Effective Mentoring Processes to help people on their mental health healing journey. Doug began his Effective Mentoring Practice in 2009. He is an international speaker and author: “The Gift of Mentoring” (2014) and is pleased to launch “You Are Not Alone” (2021).
