Law Enforcement Trauma and Stress
March 22, 2022 | 8am-12pm | Virtual
Develop effective tools for facing the stress of your profession.
First responders, law enforcement, and correctional officers often face extreme trauma and stress.
From witnessing violence and death at crime scenes, traffic accidents, and medical emergencies, to encountering people enduring the worst moments of their lives, to the often long or odd work shifts that can contribute to burnout—it can lead to anyone feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and dealing with painful trauma.
How do you cope over years or decades in such a career field? Learn from an expert who has faced trauma, violence, and life-threatening injuries himself.
Instructor Steven Hough is a 20-year veteran of the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (Florida) and spent seven years assigned to the US Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force. While serving a warrant with the task force, Hough was shot several times, including once in the face. Because of his actions, Steven was awarded the Congressional Badge of Bravery, United States Marshal’s Purple Heart, and the Medal of Valor from Santa Rosa County.
Hough has the experience, credibility, and knowledge to help others deal with the same difficulties he’s faced.
Build up your knowledge of trauma and stress to help yourself and your fellow officers!
