Course Description: This 2-hour interactive course is designed especially for first responders and their families.

More importantly, students will learn to foster healthy post trauma relationships by understanding the impact of traumatic stress and mitigating the adverse impact. Lastly, students will learn to help families cope with shiftwork, sleep and unpredictable hours.

Training Objectives:
1. Identify the effects of law enforcement stress on the family
2. Identify strategies for reducing the effects of police stress on the family
3. Recognize the effects of post traumatic relationships
4. Cope with shiftwork, sleep, and unpredictable hours
