Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc.’s Post

September is #nationalsuicidepreventionmonth . All month, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness. A huge #thankyou to #PoliceChiefNewman of the #DupontPoliceDepartment for his leadership and compassion to prioritize mental health for his Department. #teamDPD #PoliceChiefNewman, made accessible a #wellnessapp tailored for the unique priorities of law enforcement after seeing the unprecedented challenges across the country creating obstacles for law enforcement to connect with the communities they served. While there is a public portal (on the app), there is also a private employee only portal. (Check out the video below) #PoliceChiefNewman - "the stressors that come with a career in public safety are heavy and sometimes undetected by those around us. Each DPD team member and their families are provided a secure login to access valuable wellness tools." Studies indicate that helping someone at risk create a network of resources and individuals for support and safety can help them take positive action and reduce feelings of hopelessness. #socialawareness #deescalation #health&fitness #stressmanagement #dealingwithtrauma #chaplaincy&counseling #navalpostgraduateschool, #CenterforHomelandDefenseandSecurityExecutiveLeader2301 #988lifeline
