The DCJS Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety is pleased to announce that we are offering the "Caring for Cops: Emotional Survival Strategies for Officers and Their Families" webinar from Dolan Consulting Group, LLC.
Serving as a police officer can take a toll both on the emotional well being of the officer themselves as well as their families. You need more than to come home from a shift: you need to have strategies for dealing with the stress on yourself and your family. This is more critical than ever, as the majority of police agencies are populated with people from Generations X, Y and Z—all of which have a different upbringing and unique coping mechanisms. That means that it’s not just this generation of first responders that has a different set of needs and skills—their family support systems also play a vital role in their personal and career survival.
During this webinar, officers and their family members will learn to maximize personal strengths and mitigate weaknesses to enhance family communication and commitment and embrace personal and professional resilience rather than waiting for crisis to occur. These principles were used in the innovative Indianapolis Metro Police Department officer and family wellness and development program that has been recognized by the White House, the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, the US DOJ, the FBI, The Fraternal Order of Police, the United States Congress, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).
This webinar is unique: we hope officers will watch it with their loved ones so you can develop wellness strategies that are best for your family.
