About this book
A state-of-the-profession update of the pioneering guide for peace officers and other first responders — and those who care about them
Suicide, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI), substance abuse, and many more emotional and stress-related problems plague the first responder community. Hundreds of thousands of these brave public servants have unwittingly become victims of the professions they once loved. However, the suffering that results from a professional life of sacrifice and service can be prevented and mitigated.
As a thirty-year law enforcement veteran, retired police captain, and police academy instructor, Dan Willis has witnessed the damage of emotional trauma and has made it his personal mission to safeguard and enhance the wellness and wholeness of police officers, firefighters, EMTs, soldiers, and other first responders. Bulletproof Spirit offers field-tested expertise designed to be used by all first responders — and their families — to heal themselves and continue serving with compassion and strength.
Revised and expanded with the latest on post-traumatic stress and organizational health, plus links to online training videos
