Course Description
NOTE: This 6-hour CE course is approved for 1.5 hours of POST CPE. This training program provides critical knowledge for developing wellness and resiliency programs within law enforcement organizations. Integrated and structured programs including in-house psychological services, peer support, chaplains and wellness coordinators will be described. By creating a wide array of wellness and resiliency programs, agencies can provide service across the career span from academy training through retirement. Beyond treating psychological problems, the future of branding of wellness programs in law enforcement includes, peak performance, support for injured officers including pain management, nutritional counseling, increasing social support through technology and social media, and leadership development. Resiliency programs that are initiated and driven by multiple ranks, both civilian and sworn and supported by professional consultation from Police Psychologists generate the most sustained change. How wellness and resiliency programs relate to suicide prevention and alcohol misuse prevention in law enforcement will be discussed. For those currently or aspiring to provide direct clinical services to police officers, the sub-specialty of suicide assessment in law enforcement clinical settings are described.
Course Objectives
