Law Enforcement Expectations
In our videos, we discuss the various expectations law enforcement throughout society and from our peers, along with the pressures and damage these cause over long periods of time. Until we take a deep dive into our emotional well-being, many of us are often unaware of what's going on inside.
Impact of Stress Over Time
Stress as we know is also known as the "silent killer". Many of us have been taught to ignore it, especially in the law enforcement field, however the overall damage stress does to the body and the mind over time sometimes leaves us we permanent damage if not addressed. Our videos and literature will address the damage of stress over time.
Potential Coping Skills
Working in law enforcement and related fields, we are taught to help diffuse situations with others, but lack the training and coping skills to help our own selves diffuse, mentally, physically and especially emotionally. While we are trained to "protect and serve", we are not taught how to diffuse our own mental and emotional baggage accumulated.
