Resiliency Behind the Badge

This professional training for law enforcement addresses the cumulative impact of exposure to extremely overwhelming and stressful experiences while on duty. It provides a framework for better understanding common reactions to extreme stress and provides concrete techniques to utilize when experiencing stressful work situations and their aftereffects.

You will learn concrete techniques to notice your own stress warning signs and manage your stress that go beyond the traditional instruction of “make time to exercise and get plenty of sleep”.

We will discuss how to talk to fellow officers who may be struggling with traumatic stress symptoms and ways to support them.

At the end of the training, trainees will have:

• A framework to understand how witnessing suffering and violence can influence an officer both at home and on the job

• Calming techniques to use when experiencing stressful work situations and their aftereffects

• Tips to discuss post-traumatic stress with fellow officers who may be suffering in silence

• Strategies to distinguish when to seek professional help and how to find help that is right for you
