Importance of Self-Care for Public Safety Professionals
Stress is a part of everyday life. However, frontline public safety professionals, including law enforcement, corrections, and community corrections officers, face unique occupational and health safety stressors. When left unaddressed, these stressors can have detrimental consequences on their well-being.
Frontline public safety professionals need to practice self-care strategies to help them manage the stressors that accompany their jobs. Self-care is when a person intentionally engages in activities designed to take care of their physical, emotional, or mental health (Michael, 2016).This goal of this course is to provide staff working in public safety professions with information about self-care and strategies they can use for self-care to manage stress and to build resiliency.
