National Public Safety Wellness

What are the National Public Safety Wellness Programs?

Comprehensive mental fitness/wellness & accountability programs for officers, administrators, first responders, and other personnel involved in the service of police/public safety/emergency response

What are the goals of these programs?

Assist public safety personnel in maintaining mental fitness from training through retirement using evidence-based practices, surveys, accountability/personal goal setting, and follow-up research

When and what is implemented?

There are several times when high stress levels tend to occur during a career in police/public safety (matching the times when these wellness programs are available):

1. During academy training/FTO evaluation/probationary period (Peer Support Team and other special unit participation also can be included)

2. When personnel are involved in critical incidents, serious injury/illness or relationship/family problems

3. When wellness interviews are required by agency/department policy or by legislation

4. When retirement from a public safety career is being planned and/or undertaken

Participants may complete up to four FULLY-CONFIDENTIAL & VOLUNTARY online surveys focusing on characteristics needed for successful public safety job performance, positive characteristics demonstrating resilience, areas for improvement, and history of trauma/trauma reactions to critical events

Monthly group zoom calls for goal-setting and individual accountability will be available for separate groups of 1. command staff, including executives, chiefs, directors, or administrators and 2. public safety personnel, including line staff

Where and how is it implemented?

At each person’s discretion, this program takes place in the home (or local office when available) via confidential online survey administration followed by a scheduled confidential consultation/feedback session by telephone/ZOOM/SKYPE or, if available, at a licensed feedback coach’s private office

Experienced feedback coaches who have worked with public safety personnel will be available for up to one-hour feedback consultations

A list of referrals will be provided, should follow-up sessions be requested by participants

If desired, participants have the option of beginning a more formal process of consultation with the initial consultant or with another consultant in private or group sessions

Follow-up anonymous & grouped results/profiles of four surveys will be developed separately for command staff & line personnel

Organizations can participate in customized follow-up research programs

Guided research projects open now for graduate degree theses or doctoral dissertations (see above menu for Student Research Projects area)
