Police stress, PTSD, suicide, and general wellness are all topics of concern for police leaders, officers, their families, and our community leaders. Although police agencies have not always been proactive in addressing wellness and safety, it remains a tremendous problem, particularly in an era where police are scrutinized, filmed, and recorded for every citizen interaction. Much of the reporting is biased and incorrect. There is merit in mandatory health and wellness programming. There is merit in allowing and encouraging officers to seek mental health help without fear of losing their jobs. We must protect the more than 750,000 police officers in our country and ensure their long-term health and wellness is maintained. The question is how to do this? What is the best way to ensure health and wellness? Would an after-action style review be more effective it if were employed after shifts that are particularly traumatic? Would it be helpful if officers were afforded the opportunity to have a post-shift de-stressing session to vent about their experiences and concerns? Provide a response to these questions that is supported by relevant literature and/or the textbook.
For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least 3 scholarly citations

One in four women will be a victim of partner violence in her lifetime. One-third of female homicides are at the hands of a partner. Boys who witness relationship violence are twice as likely to abuse their partners. The witnessing of relationship violence during childhood is the strongest risk factor for partner violence among adults (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 2010). These statistics indicate that relationship or family violence is an insidious issue, often resulting in a multigenerational transmittal of trauma. Not only is there the significant physical and emotional traumatic impact of relationship and family violence, but there are also a host of societal problems that occur as a result, including the legal, medical, social, and foster care systems.
For this Discussion, select an example of relationship or family violence from the media (past or present), a book, a movie, or history. Think about the short- and long-term effects on the survivor(s) in the example. Note any special intervention considerations you might need to take into account if treating the survivor(s).
Post a brief description of the example you selected that illustrates relationship or family violence. Explain the primary short-term and long-term effects of the violence on the survivor(s). Include some effects not mentioned in the resource material. Finally, explain any special intervention considerations you might need to take into account if treating the survivor(s).
