How We Help
Healthy Relationships Increase Officer Resilience
Law Enforcement Officers who have a healthy and stable home life, have increased resiliency and safety in the workplace.
However, stress and training from the job can spill over and impact relationships at home AND stress and conflict at home, can spill over and impact officer safety on the job. We must break this cycle! Code4Couples® offers information, education, and tools necessary to empower departments, officers, and couples to just that.
Departments

Couples

The Impact of In The Line of Duty Injuries on Law Enforcement families
There’s an injury to the head on the job. If it’s an open wound, it gets addressed, stapled up, and healed. As time goes on, you or your spouse notices that you’re different.
You’re changing your mood, your drive, your impulsivity and your memory isn’t what it used to be.
You aren’t sure what’s happening.
Despite what looks fine externally, you know something is going on.
Joan Van De Greik shares the story of her husband’s injury and their years of struggle, not only to get the diagnosis, but dismissal and betrayal of the city and the fight for compensation as a work-related injury. Joan’s mission is to educate other law enforcement families and help them to be financially prepared should they experience a career ending injury or line of duty death.
