Law Enforcement & First Responders Mental Stress Management Course
This interactive course was designed for our frontline professionals to enhance their understanding of the complex and interdependent dynamics that influence law enforcement officers and first responders and the effects of the stressors that are involved in these vocations. Equipping each person to grow in intra- and inter-personal stress managing skills will directly benefit the communities in which they serve and create more understanding that positively shifts the outcomes of negative inherent stressors.
This course provides insight into the many situations that are extremely stressful for officers and first responders. Stressful situations include but are not limited to long hours; handling people’s attitudes; waiting for the next call and not knowing what the situation will be; and even politics within the department. Then, on top of it all, officers are frequently criticized, scrutinized, and investigated for decisions they make. Helping an officer or first responder improve on a personal level is a necessary step in career resiliency.
This course empowers one to understand and operate within stressful vocations and community situations while upholding the values of dignity, honor, and peace.
