Reply to "Training for trauma informed policing"

Marsha MorganMember

While we are not in the Northwest, I thought I would share that in Kansas City we started our trauma informed work with our Police Department on surviving secondary trauma. The course is 1/2 day, includes information on the allostatic load, brain science and provides a number of paths for self care. We have found the officers responsive and comments about wanting more information and why did it take so long to offer such helpful training are common. The presentation was developed in partnership with the community mental health center staff and police officers. Now that the officers know how to take care of themselves, they are interested in learning more about the impact of trauma on our citizens. If you are interested in our course, I am happy to share-all of it has been gathered from information in the public domain or from trauma experts.
