Mental Health and Wellness
Guidance on seeking and finding the right support for you.
Navigating a career transition or facing job insecurity is incredibly stressful. It's essential to prioritize your mental and emotional health during this time. Seeking support is a sign of strength and a critical step in managing the challenges you face.
One of the first places to look for support is within your own organization. Most law enforcement agencies offer confidential mental health services, such as counseling or therapy, through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) or similar initiatives. These resources are specifically tailored to the unique challenges faced by first responders.
Contact your HR department or union representative to learn about the confidential support services available to you.
