Introduction to Paula Booth

Counseling is very different in today’s world

Wayne’s breaking point

Counseling is for everyone

Everyone has a critical incident in their life

We ask for help all the time, why not this?

Affects officers, family members, peers

Academy program: stress management in law enforcement

Traumatic experience from those that were on vacation

Critical incident tools

Simple, briefs directives

Eat something simple

Don’t fill the silence

Look into programs

Supervisors and peers watch you

Don’t use a cookie cutter approach

Connection is important

I’ve got the best job in the world

Make it palatable

If I didn’t have counseling, I wouldn’t have finished my career

Horrible week for New Hampshire

Approach it from a problem solving perspective
