December 5, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
| COURSE DESCRIPTION: The stress associated with law enforcement and other first response professions is enormous. Individuals working in these most stressful occupations also face the probability that at some point in their career they will also be affected by some type of traumatic or critical incident stress. This workshop will provide first responders and/or their family members the information necessary to recognize the signs and symptoms of job-related stress, especially as it relates to suicide, and also provide them with strategies that will enable them to provide immediate support for individuals who may be considering suicide. Certificates will be provided.
