INTENSIVE SESSIONS HIGHLIGHT
Friday, June 28
SESSION I 8:00am – 12:00pm EST | SESSION II 12:30pm – 4:30pm EST
We are pleased to announce two intensive sessions from VALOR. These intensive sessions will take place from 8:00am to 12:00pm and from 12:30pm to 4:30pm on June 28, 2024. These two topics will be offered during each presentation time slot. Fit for Duty: Physical Health for Officer Safety (two hours) followed by Safety through Mental Wellness and Resilience (two hours).
Fit for Duty: Physical Health for Officer Safety
(two hours)
As officers, we regularly place ourselves in harm’s way to protect others. Too often, however, we do a poor job of addressing our own well-being. This course will use a data-driven approach to identify potential long-term health risks that come from working in law enforcement. This course will focus on the physical aspects of officer health and identify purposeful actions that we can take to attain and maintain optimal health and fitness.
Safety through Mental Wellness and Resilience
(two hours)
This training examines the leading cause of officer death—suicide. This reality emphasizes the importance of investing in your mental wellness. Learn how to take back control and be responsible for your health and wellness. Mental wellness will enhance your officer safety, agency goals, and personal satisfaction through a work-life balance.
WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHT
Reentry Simulation: Breaking Barriers
Saturday, June 29 9:15am – 10:45am EST | 11:00am – 12:30pm EST
Join us for a mind changing simulation that will allow you to think outside the norm concerning the barriers faced by justice-involved individuals upon returning to their communities from prison. The Reentry Simulation illustrates the justice-involved person’s exhaustive journey to self-sufficiency while experiencing the barriers that may contribute to feelings of helplessness and decreased self-efficacy. Assuming the role of an ex-offender, participants will perform tasks related to realistic reentry.
By the end of this 90-minute, eye-opening experience, participants will have simulated a month in the life of someone who has recently been released from prison. Participants will encounter the same challenges faced by many ex-offenders as they try to complete their court-ordered obligations as well as maintain their day-to-day lives. The simulation suggests that, ultimately, the ability to navigate "the system" may be influenced or altered by “us,” the helpers within the system, and this may be a primary factor in the relationship between resiliency and recidivism.
