This two day training module is taught by a Marine Corps veteran, Silouan Green, who has worked with veterans and police officers on issues of transition and service for over a decade. A survivor of a tragic jet crash as a US Marine and someone who overcame severe PTSD, he understands personally the kind of issues veterans face coming home and how to respond to them. As a mentor and teacher to many police departments and law enforcement officers across the country, he is committed to helping them all “come home”.More and more veterans are having trouble transitioning home to our communities. While many have a healthy integration, others face a myriad of difficulties from unemployment, depression, PTSD and in some cases, destructive behavior such as domestic violence, suicide, and other disturbances.Law enforcement is facing its own pressures: morale, budgeting, staffing, a hostile media environment, and a myriad of other issues. In many ways, their struggle to “come home” can be as challenging as that of a veteran.This class will prepare your officers to better respond to veterans while making themselves more resilient. Combat veterans and police officers have similar lifetime rates of conditions like PTSD, and a resilient police department is the best way to prepare to respond to veterans.
