The one-day, no cost direct training has been tailored to policing and will provide attendees with the skills to navigate adversity and grow and thrive in the face of challenges and stressors.  The course is taught by culturally competent subject matter experts and focuses on empirically validated skills that prevent and decrease anxiety and depression and increase optimism and well-being.  Four primary skills will be taught in this course:

1. Learned Optimism:  Teaches officers to notice and expect the positive, focus on what they can control, and take purposeful action.
2. Avoiding Thinking Traps:  Shows officers how to change counterproductive patterns in thinking that undercut resilience.
3. Real-Time Resilience:  Demonstrates how to shut down counterproductive thinking and build focus and confidence.
4. Identify, Describe, Express, Ask and List (IDEAL) Model:  Outlines strategies for building trust and connection during difficult conversations.

Registration is limited to a maximum of 60 participants.  Please register by May 9th.
