Public-safety leadership training

Leadership at the C.O.R.E.

A wellness policy cannot create trust by itself. Leaders create—or erode—that trust through what they model, tolerate, say, and do when someone admits they are struggling.

Culture, Ownership, Response, and Example surround trust: built through action
The operational problem

Support is useless when your people don't trust it.

This program examines the gap between the resources an organization says are available and what responders believe will happen if they use them.

Career fearAddress the questions responders carry about confidentiality, assignments, promotion, and fitness-for-duty decisions.
Supervisor readinessPrepare leaders to respond credibly when an employee discloses a struggle or shows a meaningful change.
