  • Dynamics can be used by members to better understand how they relate to others and to make positive changes in their relationships

Upcoming Group Sessions

Themes that will be addressed will incorporate the meaning of being a police officer’s partner, including having to support a spouse who may be dealing with traumatic experiences and suffering from PTSD, and how this affects relationships and parenting.

  • Structured sessions are 1.5 hours and run weekly
  • Therapy is covered by the health benefits plan for police officers
