Officer Safety and Wellness Group Meeting Summary: Officer Health and Organizational Wellness
In October 2017, the group met to continue exploration of methods to support emotional health and organizational wellness, focusing on the continuing incidence of officer suicides and rising number of felonious assaults. The participants also discussed emerging health and safety issues—a conversation critically informed by new information and insights from practitioners and researchers familiar with what is happening in the field today. Among the topics discussed were strategies for improving resilience to stress, the cultural changes needed to reduce the stigma often associated with mental health challenges, and the need to develop the capacity for data mining on assaults on officers.
