Course Description
This 3-hour interactive course is designed especially for police officers and their families. This course goes beyond what we have learned about the impact of stress on police officers and delves into the impact of stress on families.
Students will learn about the effects of stress on the family and practical steps to promote family wellness.
Unique to this course for 2020, is a discussion on the impact of COVID-19 and the anti-police climate on both police officers and their families.
More importantly, students will learn to foster healthy post trauma relationships by understanding the impact of traumatic stress and mitigating its adverse impact. Lastly, students will learn to help families cope with shift-work, sleep and unpredictable hours

- Identify the effects of law enforcement stress on the family
- Identify strategies for reducing the effects of police stress on the family
- Mitigate the stressful effects of COVID-19 on first responders and an anti-police climate.
- Recognize the effects of post traumatic relationships
