Winter General Membership Meeting Featured Training

February 9-11, 2022
Increasing Resilience in First Responders Presented by Stephanie Conn, PHD

This course will describe how first responders can take proactive and responsive steps to adaptively respond to chronic stress and trauma. A discussion of the risk and protective factors that influence wellbeing is offered to assist first responders to understand their own experiences with trauma and stress and how to mitigate their impact. This will include a plain-language discussion of the neurobiology of trauma. Resilience research is applied to the unique issues of first responder work, generating practical strategies to promote resilience. This discussion will be fortified with practical exercises that assess current levels of resilience and map a resilience-building plan.

At WACOPS, we know a hero when we see one. When you serve as a peace officer, it’s more than a job. It’s a lifestyle, a mission, even a calling. Few people know what you put into it — the hours, the training, the missed moments with family. You welcome innovation and you strive for progress. You’re driven to protect the public and serve with distinction. But all too often you’re misunderstood and misrepresented. We’ll never stop fighting for you. For your safety. Your benefits. Your quality of life. And your ability to be an indispensable part of what makes our communities work.

Safe Call Now is a confidential, comprehensive, 24-hour crisis line and support service for first responders, emergency services personnel, medical professionals and their family members nationwide.
