“What if officers and their partners could recognize PTSI before it threatened careers or relationships?”
Who it’s for
Built for those who serve.
Policing exposes officers to things most people will never see, while expecting them to stay calm, capable and ready for the next call.
This course gives officers, and the people closest to them, a shared understanding of stress injuries, so they can act early, before concerns escalate.
Partners & families
Recognize changes in someone you love, understand what they are going through, and navigate resources together.
Police leaders, HR & unions
Give members a proactive, private tool that supports wellness and retention, with no time away from shift duties.
Program curriculum
