The public safety community’s concerns about the mental toll the job takes on all responders has finally moved out of the shadows. Our responders are exposed to horrific scenes of bedlam as they render aid and bring control back to the chaos, but it can take a toll on them. Fortunately, the business is recognizing that suppressing these memories and toughing it out is not a good idea. The conference is a wealth of resources and information, and they have an impressive group of presenters lined up.
Other topics on the agenda are: officer suicide prevention, the science of addiction, confidentiality and therapeutic help, and there will be a panel discussion on addiction and recovery. I am intrigued by the session with the title “The Wellness Advantages of Being a Police Officer.” Hmmm, now that sounds really interesting.
