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
Code4Couples ® offers customizable webinars, workshops, and retreats to departments, agencies, and other organizations, including the Hold the Line Train-the-Trainer program certification.
Couples
Empower couples to have connected and resilient relationships, by educating them on the spillover, and teach them to counter the impact.
Officers
Influence officer wellness and resilience. Code4Couples® will teach your officers how the training that keeps them safe on the job, impacts them negatively off the job, and how to mitigate its effects.
