Description
Active bystandership programs like ABLE and Heroes are only as effective as the safety net behind them. You cannot ask an officer to “intervene” if there isn’t a credible, trusted resource ready to catch the person they are helping. Unfortunately, many agencies rely on generic EAPs that are underutilized or lack cultural competency, leading to a significant “credibility gap”.
Join Dr. Abigail Tucker, co-author of the DOJ/COPS ABLE Employee Wellness Guidance, for a deep dive into shifting your wellness strategy from a “check-the-box” program to a robust, policy-driven infrastructure. This session provides a practical roadmap for leadership and wellness coordinators to build a system that employees—and their families—will actually use.
