About This Course:
As public safety professionals, it is essential to understand the impact of trauma and develop skills that foster resilience and promote well-being. Public safety professionals are exposed to traumatic and crisis incidents almost daily—at rates significantly higher than those of the general public. Therefore, first responders must recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma responses to intervene in ways that ensure the safety of everyone involved.
This course will explore the neurobiology of trauma and its impact on behavior. It will cover the stress cycle, common trauma reactions, and strategies to enhance on-scene safety and de-escalate crises. Discussions will include resiliency, emotional intelligence, and self-care for first responders. Through real-world examples, activities, and classroom dialogue, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of trauma-informed responses applicable to promoting safety and resiliency for public safety professionals.
