| Description | "Stress Management and Recovery for public safety professionals is a serious concern, as it has a huge impact on the general welfare of all, from constituents and tourists to those dedicated to the job. Last year, suicide was the number one killer of Law Enforcement officers in the USA. In addition, about 20 military veterans commit suicide daily. Fire Fighters, Paramedics, and other public safety personnel also are at risk from physically and emotionally exhaustive jobs, as they too see death and destruction daily.
For every professional who dies of suicide, many in the same department often have untreated stress disorders. These professions are tough on the body and soul, and anyone in these jobs needs healthy outlets to deal with the stresses, which could include injuries on the job that required addicting pain pills. Some agencies do not offer, or bar an officer, intentionally/officially, or not, from attending life-saving spiritual/recovery fellowships or other stress management programs.
Yet, having first-hand recovery experiences could save officers and positively impact the struggling addict citizens they encounter on the job. Active duty solutions could save officer lives, reduce veteran suicides, reduce liability cases that result from over stressed officers acting incorrectly, and provide a positive outlook in the recruitment of much needed future public servants." |
