Joe Caron

Joe Caron grew up in a small town in northern New England, in a close-knit community shaped by farming and logging. He attended a single K–12 school with fewer than 100 students, an environment that helped instill a strong sense of responsibility, service, and work ethic early in life.

Joe spent most of the 1990s serving in the United States Marine Corps before entering law enforcement in the late 1990s. In February 2005, as the Global War on Terror became a sustained reality, he returned to military service. He was medically retired in mid-2007 after being shot in Ramadi, Iraq, following a year of hospitalization and a year of intensive rehabilitation.

After his recovery, Joe returned to law enforcement in 2007 and served until November 2019, retiring as a Patrol Sergeant with 21 years of total law enforcement service. He later relocated to Nevada, where he worked at the Nevada National Security Site as a Department of Energy Tactical Response Force Security Police Officer, Lieutenant, and Performance Testing and Standards Evaluator. Joe retired from federal service in late 2024.
Joe shares his story of transition after service and how eTMS fundamentally changed his life and his perspective on mental health in a powerful, positive way.
