Mental Wellness for Law Enforcement

Because Protecting Others Starts with Protecting Yourself

Law enforcement professionals face some of the most high-stress, high-risk situations on a daily basis. The weight of that responsibility, combined with the trauma and emotional toll that often accompanies the job, can lead to burnout, poor mental health, and even crisis.

This course is specifically designed for law enforcement officers to recognize, understand, and manage the mental and emotional challenges of their critical role. This classroom-only course provides the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the psychological toll of law enforcement work and maintain resilience, well-being, and readiness—on and off the job.
