Next Resilience Leadership Training
November 13-17, 2023 Check back in September to sign-up.
Why Resilience Matters
Over time, exposure to stress, critical incidents, loss of life and organizational stressors can have a negative impact on the mental and physical health of law enforcement officers. Stigma about seeking help prevents many officers from getting the care they need to recover from trauma. There are actions that officers can take to increase resilience and bounce back from trauma. Resilience skills are active techniques that can be taught, and with continued use, improve the resilience of those that use them.
This training is provided through grants, private donations and associations who provide funding. Since its inception, the program has evolved to a one day training that challenges attendees to change the way they are thinking to improve their resilience and their performance at work. Improvements in these areas lead to improved job satisfaction and morale as well as improved relationships at work and in their personal life.
Resilience Can be Taught
Learn proven techniques, or build upon past trainings, to become more resilient while doing the job of a first responder. Resilience isn't something you have or may not have. Resilience can be taught. The techniques are easy to use and can be applied that day. Heck, some people even start using the techniques at lunch to start building or improving their relationships.
