Law Enforcement Wellness Resources
Date:Friday January 15, 2021
To our law enforcement professionals, the past year has likely held some of the most difficult moments in your entire career, from an unprecedented worldwide pandemic, to anti-police social narratives, to government instability–and that doesn’t even include the typical day-to-day risks you face as you protect and serve your community.
We want every public safety employee to know that we appreciate you, and most importantly, we want to support and help you continue to not just survive but thrive. In light of this, we’ve compiled a short list of high impact resources informed by veterans of the field who truly understand your experience and are ready to meet you where you are today. Please feel free to forward and share. We will continue to add to this list of resources as we identify the best information and professionals in the field. Thank you for your service, and stay safe.
