"A Proactive Approach to Wellness"  

Presentation Overview:

Wellness is not just the latest buzzword in the policing profession; it is a fundamental component of building high performing police organizations that serve their communities to the fullest. It's time to take a proactive approach to caring for those who care for others. This presentation will outline many ways in which police leaders can implement comprehensive measures to keep their staff well.
