POWER Receives National CertificationCenter for Council's Peace Officer Wellness, Empathy & Resilience (POWER) Training Program is an innovative new compassion-based interactive curriculum for police and correctional officers that utilizes mindfulness practices and council to train officers to support wellness, relationality and improved police-community relations. In September 2022, POWER received the National Certification Program Seal of Excellence.
