law enforcement

First responders, including law enforcement and correctional officers are consistently exposed to elevated levels of work-related stress and trauma. Without ways to manage stress, officers are often set up to experience poor physical, mental, and emotional health which impact work performance and increased rates of absenteeism, tardiness, and turnover in law enforcement and correctional settings. Negative relationships with colleagues, loved ones, as well as community members often result from this dysregulation and ineffective communication skills.

Tension in police community relations has reached a breaking point and there is a critical need for more effective training programs and reform initiatives. Optimizing first responder performance and improving police-community relations demands a new evidence-based approach to recognizing and regulating stress, heightening awareness and attention, fostering better interpersonal communication and listening skills, and cultivating more skillful relationships with those with whom officers work, as well as those they serve.

Center for Council focuses on intensive training in Wellness, Empathy and Resilience to address officer health and performance -- and builds on those skills with powerful opportunities to foster improved community relationships, effective deescalation practices and meaningful procedural justice.  Click below to learn more about POWER Training and Cops & Communities Circling Up.
