PTSD and Substance Abuse is a major concern for officers, especially after they have been involved in a critical incident (shooting, witnessing a major incident, etc). With this in mind MRPES has decided to try to assist officers in their time of need. While this is a new endeavor for us, here are a few resources that may be helpful. For more feel free to go to www.ptsd.va.gov they have several resources.
For a list of PTSD treatment professionals see the linked list. MRPES doesn’t endorse any of them but they are a place to start. For more information call them directly or go to Psychology Today.
