Description
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is pleased to announce that it will host “Leading Into Wellness”.
In the realm of law enforcement, the absence of trust can breed a culture where officers hesitate to exhibit their authentic selves. This hesitancy leads to the adoption of negative coping mechanisms to mask underlying mental wellness issues, often culminating in tragic outcomes like increased suicides. At the heart of this narrative lie the leaders within law enforcement, whose actions and guidance play a pivotal role in shaping the levels of trust and the degree of officer engagement in mental wellness initiatives. These leaders hold the power to educate and shape their teams.
This course highlights the profound importance of leadership in mental wellness programs within the dynamic world of law enforcement. It advocates for leaders to take the forefront in transforming the way they facilitate training and influence the mental well-being of their teams.
