Reply to "Training for trauma informed policing"

Hi Joanna,

My approach is to train LEOs and other emergency responders how to release their own stress and trauma, so that they are emotionally more capable of doing their own jobs (trauma information will fly out the window once the brain stem takes over), and then be able to recognize it in others. Along with that is we present ACEs studies to reveal the prevalence, and the psycho educational part that explains what is trauma, how it might differ from stress, and and physiological capacity differences.

The meat of my experience has been 15 years as a firefighter/EMT, working alongside LEOs in many situations that had an impact on us we still don't fully acknowledge.

If you'd like to discuss this, I can be reached at leckey@raiseyourresilience.com. I happen to be in Washington, up on Whidbey Island.
