Resource Detail

Law enforcement professionals are exposed to a unique set of on-the-job and personal stressors that place them at a higher risk for adverse mental and physical health outcomes than the general public. Chaplains play a significant role in providing support for these stressors by fostering officer well-being through spiritual and psychological hope. They assist in establishing rapport, offering confidential counseling, and serve as peacekeepers during crises. They also provide support at funerals and burials where individuals experience profound emotions. In this Web event, instructors cover lessons learned from a successful chaplaincy program over the length of the program.
