The emotional health of personnel and family members continues to be a top concern for most law enforcement agencies. While our agency has always offered a variety of mental health resources, employee feedback was access to services was challenging to navigate and obtain in a timely manner. Our agency began offering on-site, no-cost behavioral health services in January 2020 by contracting directly with a psychologist who was vetted and culturally competent in law enforcement. The program provides direct, easy access and helped eliminate barriers for reaching out for help. The service continues to be well-utilized and is a positive resource for our employees. The purpose of this presentation is to share about the program development, including preparation, implementation, evaluation, and challenges/opportunities.
- Establish an understanding of how to contract directly with a culturally competent provider.
- Understand the positive and negative aspects of the offering on-site behavioral health services.
- Learn details about examples of how to encourage emotional wellness within law enforcement personnel.
