The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to offer this one-day “Effective Strategies for Officer Health and Wellness” course presented by The Kipper Group. Law enforcement officers face numerous challenges that can lead to lasting impacts on their overall health and wellness. Understanding how the role of today’s officers impacts their individual health and wellness is crucial to the success of both the officer and the organization they represent.

Effective strategies will be provided in each area to assist in the development of an overall wellness process. In addition, officers will be provided with a personal performance model which will enhance the process of self-management and wellness.
