OFFICER SAFETY & WELLNESS

YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The FBI National Academy Associates welcomed sixty students to the FBI National Academy in Quantico,VA for an intensive week long leadership program. Similar to the FBI National Academy Program, students came from all over the United States, representing the 42 US states, Germany, Puerto Rico, and Peru. The week focused on core subject matter which included Leadership, Ethics, Values and Choices, Juvenile Crime, Character Matters, Goal Setting, Bullying, Ethical Decision Making, Accountability, Social Media and Financial Responsibility. Students also visited the nation’s capital to visit many impactful museums and memorials including the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, US Holocaust Museum, and Arlington National Ceremony.

The FBINAA’s Comprehensive Officer Resilience Program is the most comprehensive and effective officer safety and wellness program available to our members. The foundation of the program is based on four core principles: • Mental – the ability to effectively cope with unique mental stressors and challenges • Physical – the ability to adopt and sustain healthy behaviors needed to enhance health and wellbeing • Social – the ability to engage in healthy social networks that promote overall well-being and optimal performance • Spiritual – the ability to strengthen a set of beliefs, principles, or values that sustain an individual’s sense of wellbeing and purpose Through a grant from the Motorola Foundation and our partnership with Acadia Healthcare , the Comprehensive Officer Resilience Train-the-Trainer Program is able to certify qualified instructors throughout the world to deliver this state-of-the-art training at the departmental and local level. “The FBINAA is committed to the emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing of the public safety workforce. As leaders in the law enforcement profession, we recognize that our people are our greatest asset and we are responsible for creating a climate that helps keep them healthy and resilient. Our Officer Safety and Wellness Team is dedicated to promoting awareness surround- ing the difficulties of the profession, inspiring conversations that minimize the stigma that the suffering law enforcement officer may feel and to providing solutions for agencies, individuals or family members that find themselves dealing with a personal crisis. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all that dedicate themselves to protecting and serving others.” – Barry Thomas, Former FBINAA President, Session # 223
