One of the areas of mental health advocacy and work that my husband and I focus on is mental health in law enforcement. My husband who also holds a masters degree in counseling and is a life coach for LifeWise, has worked in law enforcement for the past 15 years. He was a military police officer in the US Navy, and he also works in civilian law enforcement. I counsel many law enforcement officers and have advocated for their mental health for years.

Law enforcement is an area that is often forgotten when it comes to mental health. In May, I presented to other mental health counselors across the nation regarding mental health in law enforcement. You will find my presentation below. My hope is to bring to light the need for law enforcement agencies to learn how imperative it is that we care for the mental health of our officers.
