Managers’ and trainers’ overall duty is to develop their colleagues and students. Often employee development is wrapped up in “what or how.” This is due to the criminal justice profession having become outcome-driven and an unreal expectation of perfection.  Most often the “what and how” are influenced by the why.  The why is cognitive and requires a different training strategy than tactical or physical skills.

We will look at the Cognitive Coaching philosophy developed by Gary Klein and adapted for the criminal justice professional.  Cognitive Coaching addresses two areas. The first is a mindset shift on the part of the manager or trainer.  Being curious about why errors happen, developing a beginner’s mindset, and simplification are included in the mindset shift required to teach cognitive skills.

The second addresses how to assist our colleagues and students in connecting the dots.  How insight becomes intuition and the role experience plays in sensemaking and better decision-making. Some of the techniques include the identification of subtle cues, Pre-mortems/After Action Reviews, and situational awareness.

According to researchers, Toxic Work Culture is 10x more important than pay in predicting turnover.  In an era of unprecedented staffing shortages across the industry, agencies must step up to improve those workplace factors that are within our control.  Turnover due to toxic work culture is preventable.

Some unhappy employees describe workplaces that don’t promote diversity and inclusion, cutthroat environments, and failure to recognize employee performance.  This session will discuss ways to improve employee engagement via Management by Committee, an inclusive leadership model that improves employee engagement and buy-in, and ideas for celebrating success without breaking your agency budget.

When law enforcement is called to investigate the tragedy of an apparent unexplained, sudden death of a young child or infant, everyone is looking for answers. The quality of the investigation will be the determining factor on whether we can hold any one person or persons accountable for any abuse or neglect that may have caused the death. A systematic and collaborative approach to these investigations is critical to explaining the circumstances surrounding a fatal incident, excluding the possibility of accidents or non-criminal conduct, and providing the prosecution with the evidence and information necessary to charge and successfully convict offenders.

Mobile phone theft is an ever-increasing issue that goes beyond the initial inconvenience of the loss of the phone. Today’s mobile device houses our most private information: from our personal communications to our photos, passwords, and apps to everything from our banking to online shopping, and can even have private employer information.

But investigating these property crimes isn’t always easy.

The National Mobile Property Registry provides officers and analysts a single-search tool for accessing over a billion device records of activity sourced from retailers, buy-back kiosks, pawn, second-hand, manufacturers, insurers, Telcom carriers, and consumers. Not limited to only IMEI numbers, this database is freely accessible to law enforcement and doesn’t require additional authority to search.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss:

• What IMEI numbers are
• Nlets and NMPR
• How to access NMPR directly
• When to use NMPR (different case studies)

Do your direct reports struggle to reclaim the drive that attracted them to law enforcement and public safety? Do they neglect the self-care that would keep them focused, physically fit, and in control of their emotions? Are they influenced by peer pressure, rather than blazing their own paths to leadership? If you’ve answered yes, you are not alone. You can stimulate personal and professional growth for your direct reports by adding “coach” to your tool kit.

This webinar will offer techniques for:

• engaging your direct reports in their own self-improvement
• asking questions that help your team to learn from mistakes and set meaningful goals
• creating a culture in which people are encouraged to experiment, learn, and grow.

The relationship between TBI and intimate partner violence (IPV) is increasingly evident and alarming, as physical abuse often focuses on the head, neck, and face. This webinar highlights the framework necessary to understand and approach TBIs that originate from IPV.

Distinct from athletics or warfare-related TBI, the cognitive, somatic, and emotional symptoms of TBI from IPV can also interfere with self-care, caring for families, and strategies to leave an abusive relationship. The presentation will cover the scope of the epidemic, opportunities to educate service providers, and considerations for assessment and intervention. Dr. Lifshitz will specifically discuss ongoing epidemiological studies and laboratory results on the topic. One published study reports the state-wide epidemiology of concurrent concussion and domestic violence, where the results point to infant boys and child-bearing-age women at the greatest risk. A laboratory study of TBI during pregnancy (gravida TBI) in mice evaluated the effects on the neurological development of the offspring, and a subsequent study to describe the state-wide epidemiology on 300,000 pregnancies, with ~30,000 TBI/IPV events during pregnancy.

Working in a public safety/justice career can lead to a very difficult and exhausting life, both at work and at home. Too often “I’ll enjoy life when I retire” seems to be the end goal, but when retirement actually happens it can leave personnel feeling disconnected and without purpose.  The trauma and negativity experienced throughout the career don’t magically disappear upon retirement, unfortunately, and are carried into this new phase of life.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to live a more fulfilled and balanced life from the beginning of your career all the way through to retirement, so that your mental health remains positive and strong along the way. Retirement, once reached, then becomes a continuation of a life lived well, rather than just an escape from a difficult and/or traumatic career.

Those who experience crime are not a monolith, and many victims of crime can experience multiple types of victimization. A one size fits all approach leaves many victims without the services and support they need. Service providers need to understand poly victimization and how it impacts survivors’ experiences with the justice system and work to find the right resources and support mechanisms to serve victims best.

During this webinar, participants will:

• Begin to understand how poly-victimization plays a role in how victims interact with the justice system
• Identify how the intersection of poly-victimization and victim services creates gaps in service for victims,
• Identify three strategies service providers can use to unite allied partners to ensure victims and survivors experiencing poly-victimization get the support they need.

The law enforcement profession is designed to serve and protect communities throughout this country.  Men and women in uniform spend 20-30 years selflessly committing themselves to reduce crime, the fear of crime, and improve the quality of life among those whom they serve daily.  However, the question remains, who is there to pour into them as they continue to pour into others?

This webinar is designed to offer strategies for those heroes to implement into their lives focusing on their social, emotional, and psychological well-being along with explaining the long-term benefits of these strategies for themselves, their organizations, and their communities.

Organizational stress generally refers to the organizational context in which officers work and is differentiated from operational stress (occupational dangers and exposure to risk). Examples of organizational stressors in policing and corrections include bureaucratic red tape, work schedules, workload, disciplinary culture, lack of internal procedural justice, and lack of support by supervisors. Increasingly, the research evidence indicates that organizational stressors may pose far greater consequences to officer health and wellness than operational ones.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• the extant research on police and correctional officers’ stress
• organizational stressors unique to law enforcement and corrections organizations
• impacts on officer health and wellness, and
• mitigating factors as well as strategies that individual officers and their organizations can employ to reduce the harmful effects of organizational stress.

This webinar will explore the notion of the second mountain, or our next chapter. If you aren’t sure what that looks like yet, you will gain clarity, hear about examples of what others have done, so you leave prepared to put ideas into action.

Over the past couple of years, I have noticed a huge shift in the attitudes of the amazing women of 911. We are valuing ourselves out loud, we began to champion and cheer for each other, and the results have been HUGE.  We have more women speaking in conferences, more women aspiring to leadership, more women paving their own path on their terms.  We are finding our voices and it has created a movement.  This session will bring to light the attitudes and actions we can take to continue to rise together, shoulder to shoulder.

The audience will learn:

• Why women feel competitive with one another.
• How we can overcome past mindsets and actively champion one another.
• How to find your voice and use it to lead, no matter what your position.

The job of corrections staff, sworn and non, juvenile and adult, is a difficult one: different than what is portrayed in movies and on television, and what some citizens may believe.

Correctional officers, probation/parole officers, and juvenile detention counselors supervise offenders who learn how to live life from what they learn on the street. While some offenders ‘go with the flow,’ make a focused effort to avoid future criminality, some try to do time under supervision on their terms. They are street-smart, intelligent, and determined.

Part I of this webinar series will discuss several recent cases from institutions, juvenile facilities, and probation/parole agencies where cunning offenders gained the upper hand, resulting in contraband trafficking, engaging in sexual misconduct with staff, continuing criminal activity, and escaping custody. Variables will be explored, asking questions such as how did these events happen and what were the central themes? Did offenders get the upper hand due to staff violating professional boundaries, displaying a lack of supervision, a lack of training, or showing weaknesses? Corrections professionals attending this online seminar will gain insight into how staff can lose authority, and offenders can gain the ‘upper hand.’

Findings from the presenter’s review of every major school shooting in the US since and including the shooting at Columbine High School, will be discussed along with data indicating how these tragic events may increase risk for family violence in the community during the immediate years that follow.

Finally, participants will learn of collaborative, multi-disciplinary approaches to reducing violence/abuse in the home and community with an emphasis on child mental health and ending cycles of violence and abuse. Safe communities start with safe homes.

For some time now academics, practitioners, and advocates have debated whether to remove law enforcement from crisis responses altogether. For some, the debate has ventured into how to remove police from mental health crisis calls. And while these discussions and policies are merited, they are likely years from being fully implemented and/or effective. As in all societal failings, while debates, funding, and implementation plans continue, law enforcement will be the element of society to address this issue.

During this webinar, we discuss the challenges surrounding addressing the mental health crisis and why law enforcement can no longer stand by saying, “This isn’t our job.” Because it is and likely will be for some time.

Have you ever seen a successful team that doesn’t practice together? When it comes to significant and/or large-scale incidents the communications team plays an integral role and is the original incident command but are often not a part of training exercises. Agencies must approach training for these incidents as they would the real thing and this includes determining the role dispatch plays and how they can best interact with those in the field. During this webinar, we’ll discuss dispatch’s role as incident command and steps to take to prepare for handling these incidents more effectively with other public safety partners.

Correctional staff training has generally followed a model of academy recruit training, instructor-based in-service training, and more recently online training. While these have presented much information about offenders, more training is necessary concerning the streetwise, system-wise, institutionalized criminal offender.

Part II of this webinar series will take a ‘thinking outside the box’ approach to staff training. The underlying theme is:  Every day is a training day, and ALL staff are trainers. To keep a unified front in resisting manipulation, the following topics will be discussed:  staff hiring, establishing training needs, effective supervisor training, developing mentors, effective orientations for civilians, and training in the consequences of staff sexual misconduct. This online seminar will also examine what is needed in our training academies and in on-the-job training. Training in offender manipulation is everyone’s job-on every shift, during every workday, in every facility or agency.

Since its inception, the 9-1-1 profession has struggled to develop and sustain its sense of identity, purpose, and potential. For many years, 9-1-1 centers have historically existed under the governance of police and fire organizations, or 9-1-1 authority boards comprised of police and fire department heads, and have mostly failed to thrive due to a lack of relatability and understanding of the unique needs, challenges, and experiences of 9-1-1 professionals.  This disconnect was spotlighted in 2020, when the COVID pandemic and civil unrest exacerbated the longstanding challenges with recruitment, retention, and longevity in 9-1-1, reducing staffing in 9-1-1 centers to dangerously low levels.   In this session, you will hear the story of a 9-1-1 center who turned those challenges into triumphs by accepting ownership of their journey and transforming their work culture from the inside out.

By the end of the presentation, you will be able to:

• Understand and explain organizational identity and culture and how it affects your 9-1-1  center’s performance, engagement, and retention.
• Identify the sources and signs of stress, trauma, and disengagement among your 9-1-1  center employees and how to prevent or address them.
• Apply the key strategies and best practices for creating a retention-promoting environment for your 9-1-1 center employees.
• Evaluate the benefits and challenges of creating a positive and caring culture in your 9-1-1  center and communicate them effectively to your employees and stakeholders.

Stalking is a nuanced crime that can affect victims of all backgrounds. With the glamorization of these behaviors, victims of stalking are often left feeling like they will not be believed or turned away from services.

It is essential to understand the context of stalking since many of the behaviors may appear harmless or benign. Those who choose to stalk use tactics of fear and uncertainty to harass further, monitor, intimidate, and coerce victims.

With law enforcement under intensive scrutiny, community engagement is more important than ever before. That scrutiny, however, also bred distrust of police, so old engagement strategies may no longer be effective.

If you’re looking for something beyond coffees with cops and citizens’ academies, you’ll be sure to walk away with fresh ideas to build trust and understanding in your communities.

Join Deputy District Attorney Jill Hollander and Animal Legal Defense Fund Managing Attorney David B. Rosengard for a discussion of programs that pair defendants (either via diversion or as part of a sentence) with high euthanasia-risk animals in need of socialization and behavioral support.

We will examine the penological goals these programs prioritize, they ways they safeguard animal interests, and their impact in the broader community. This presentation will additionally walk through Fulton County, Georgia’s Canine Cellmates program as a case study. The program prevents men who have been charged or convicted of crimes from experiencing the myriad traumatic life disruptions and setbacks incarceration causes because courts can offer participation in Canine Cellmates as a diversion program or incarceration alternative. Successful completion of Canine Cellmates also allows participants the ability to have charges dismissed or eligible convictions expunged.

For this reason, the program not only saves Fulton County financial resources associated with court and incarceration costs, but it also saves the county financial resources successful participants might otherwise need, had they not learned the foundational skills Canine Cellmates provides. Furthermore, the program’s human graduates experience family restoration, increased employability, and low recidivism rates. These graduates become model citizens for teaching compassion to other humans and animals, which promotes the vitality of a strong community within a One Health-oriented ecosystem.

Are you stuck in the overtime trap? If you’re a first responder, chances are you’re caught up in this money pitfall and you might not even realize it. The livelihood of a law enforcement officer comes with built-in stressors that, many times, are not handled in a healthy way. Often, officers look for those quick dopamine hits to soften the blows that are felt while on shift. Regardless of what your coping techniques are when it comes to the job, chances are it involves spending money and spending money for a quick release of dopamine is the gateway drug to finding yourself stuck in the overtime trap. If you’ve ever justified a purchase based on your ability to work overtime, chances are you’ve either been, or are currently stuck in the overtime trap. When you rely on overtime to pay for a decision you made yesterday, last month, or last year, THAT is the overtime trap.

So how can you get out? In this webinar I’ll take you through 4 steps on how to break this tedious money cycle:

• Establish your core money values and implement your money SOP’s
• Create a plan to reduce debt and prevent it moving forward
• Identify the most common expense pitfalls and how to reduce or eliminate phantom expenses
• Recognize the habits that are wasting your money

Complacency is a stealthy foe that can negatively impact safety and prevent us from taking action when needed. You will learn how to recognize warning signs of complacency in yourself and others, and gain insight on how it creeps in without us even noticing and how we can prevent and/or overcome it.

The Denise Amber Lee Foundation was founded by Denise’s husband, Nathan Lee in June of 2008, 6 months after her tragic death. He has made it his life’s mission to travel the country telling her story, to help 911 centers across the country try to avoid a similar occurrence to someone else. The foundation wants to use the emotional power of Denise’s story to motivate and inspire 911 personnel to remember why they do what they do. Arguably one of the most difficult professions on the planet, the foundation wants to remind them how important they are what a critical role they play every day in Public Safety.

In most American cities, violent crime is both geographically concentrated and committed by a small of offenders. Police departments can leverage these characteristics to reduce violent crime in their cities. With this in mind, researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio developed a comprehensive violent crime reduction strategy for the Dallas Police Department in May 2021. The strategy has three components: hot spots policing, problem-oriented place-based policing, and focused deterrence. Now in its third year in Dallas, the violent crime reduction strategy has been implemented in three other cities.

During this webinar, the researchers will discuss:

• Results from years one and two in Dallas and year one in Tacoma, WA; Salt Lake City, UT; and San Antonio, TX.
• Hot spots policing based on narrowly focused, deterrent methods in the cities’ most vulnerable areas.
• Problem-oriented policing involving a police-led, multi-disciplinary group of city government stakeholders that work together to address the underlying causes of crime in persistently violent places.
• Lessons drawn from partnerships between researchers and agencies of varying sizes, each with their own set of unique challenges surrounding violent crime.

Law enforcement-based victim services are most effectively incorporated into agencies when clear roles and responsibilities are established and understood. These depend on models of service provision and partnerships – both internal and external to the agency. Jurisdiction-specific statutes can affect protections that victim services personnel can and cannot offer when serving victims and co-victims.

Information from this webinar can help participants understand the following:

• Service provision models
• Victim services personnel role parameters
• Legal statutes related to communication with victims and co-victims

The need for control is often seen as a negative aspect of a person’s personality. However, having a sense of control is a vital aspect of an individual’s well-being. And, for people facing or dealing with a traumatic situation or event, the need for control is an essential part of coping. This presentation will look at the role of control as it pertains to the individual’s sense of self, sense of hope, guilt and sense of future. It will also discuss the physical and emotional impact the lack of control may have on an individual. Interventions will be presented as how best to support the individual, including the concept of acceptance as a means of control.

Are you in an organization that hasn’t changed the way it operates for a long time? Are new ideas shot down almost instantly? Leaders who are curious make organizations safer, more resilient, and open places to work. Naturally curious leaders understand they can’t know everything, and they are ok with that. They rely on the wisdom and collective knowledge within the organization to fulfill the mission of their organization. Curious leadership promotes the constant growth and intentional risk-taking necessary for innovative problem-solving.

We will explore ways to flex your curiosity muscles and strengthen the habit of actively looking for more knowledge, either from others or through research. Learn how to leverage your curiosity to build trust and inspire other leaders within your organization, including how to better use the collective knowledge you have at your fingertips. Finally, we will discuss ways to be that lifelong learner who models great habits for future generations.

In this webinar, Dr. Renee Mitchell discusses how policing data on its face is misleading. She discusses why media outlets and researchers who conduct secondary data analyses often make incorrect assumptions about the data.  She argues that often we as police practitioners also get it wrong. If police organizations want to take a stand against the media or outside groups twisting policing data to fit their narrative, then practitioners must also practice good data and statistical hygiene. This is the first of a series that will explain a better way to think about your data that can elevate your organization beyond the 1990 CompStat model.

For decades, Corrections and law enforcement officers have been trained under the model of ask, tell, make.  Unfortunately, this model excludes the importance of what to ask, how to ask, and the significance of your own emotional state when communicating.

You know that good communication skills can resolve or escalate a situation; but have you ever thought about how the escalation of a situation could leave you open to injury, discipline, or even criminal charges?

This course will help you understand and use strong communication skills such as:

• Emotional control when asking or telling
• The basic elements of communication
• Social skills important for successful communication

This webinar will describe and demonstrate the Money Counter Network (MCN), which is a free and unique system connecting money counter machines via the web for the purpose of coordinating investigations and producing intelligence.

The system allows investigators to follow their money and determine which other individuals or networks are associated with their investigations.

The MCN is a nationwide resource and on more than 18,000 occasions MCN has notified officers that money they scanned was connected to other investigations.  The network continues to rapidly grow connecting more local, state, federal and tribal agencies.  If your agency uses money for investigative purposes or seizes money, this is an essential resource to enhance your department’s investigations.

When most people hear the word slime they think of the gelatinous, sticky, gooey substance that has recently taken youth by storm; or maybe they feel a bit nostalgic and think about Nickelodeon in the 90s and 2000s, or maybe to a few the thought of gangs as an association….all of those are right, but none of them are what this presentation is about.

In the realm of working with people in crisis– which is likely all of us, we tend to agree that others don’t understand the work we do.  This leads to the implication that our teams are our primary support system and with that support, they share similar experiences and often are the first persons we choose to debrief with.  Furthermore, these story exchanges happen fluidly and without warning – this is sliming.  When employees share traumas they have received from others with unsuspecting team members – sliming is occurring.  And although there is no ill intent, the results can be detrimental, especially over time.

Takeaways:

• Define and describe sliming.
• Reflect on instances of sliming others and being slimed by others.
• Create an action plan on how best to diffuse sliming.

Officer fatigue and sleep deficits are a growing concern. There is no shortage of advice and information about how people can improve the quality of their sleep…but little in the way of actually training officers on how to take charge of their sleep health.

This webinar will describe the Washington State University police fatigue management training experiment funded by the National Institute of Justice and conducted at the Seattle Police Department and the Portland Bureau of Police.

Study methods, results, and implications will be discussed. Attendees will gain insight into how to help officers manage their fatigue and improve their sleep and leave with an understanding of how to implement training such as this in their own departments.

Rewarding employees doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective.  As the cost of services and supplies for your workplace increases, public budgets tend to remain static.  This calls on managers to be creative in how they provide recognition opportunities for their staff that enhance public trust, support professional development, improve retention, and create recruitment opportunities.

The American Jail Association (AJA) is a national, nonprofit organization that supports the professionals who operate our Nation’s jails. It is the only national association that focuses exclusively on issues specific to the operations of local correctional facilities. The driving force behind the phenomenal growth of AJA is its members. AJA has taken a leadership role in developing the type of programs that promote the professional growth of the dedicated men and women who operate our Nation’s jails.  Jail staff have the responsibility for the management of people who have been charged with violating our laws and often mock the ideals on which AJA was founded. Jail personnel find themselves sorely tested each day in the jail environment when they receive scorn and derision for their loyalty and perseverance under extremely trying circumstances.  AJA takes this opportunity to salute the jail staff of the Nation who, by their dedication to the difficult task of local corrections, have made a vital, positive difference to the welfare of the communities they serve.  Click here to learn more about AJA. 

The CompStat model was intended to make police executives accountable for reducing crime and calls for service and it achieved that purpose. However, criminological theory and statistical knowledge has come a long way since the 1990s yet policing’s statistical management models still seem to be stuck in the same binary comparison models. This approach while holding your executives accountable, may be holding them accountable for random fluctuations in data that they have no control over. Even worse, it can lead to over-policing in your most vulnerable communities while under-policing in the communities that need it most. This webinar will explain what has changed in research and in statistical modeling that can be applied to policing in practice.

While many in the criminal justice and law enforcement profession feel they have been called to serve their communities, most probably never anticipated all the ways they take the job home with them at the end of the day. Far too many of our friends and colleagues struggle with the stress and trauma from the job.

The 10-Code Mindset not only helps criminal justice professionals identify how they are being affected, but also helps them rise above the stress, demands, and/or trauma that they can encounter.

During this webinar, we’ll discuss:

• the hidden internal, personal threats and provide masterful strategies for navigating the job trauma exposure,
• the art of balancing “warrior socialization” and being human
• how to protect your mental health by utilizing the most powerful weapon not found in your holster
• the hidden threats of being a civil servant that you don’t encounter on the streets.

Through these strategies, a person will leave feeling inspired in their ability to thrive and not just get by in survival mode.

Are you aware of the gold mine of intelligence in your jail?  Do you know how to dig this intelligence out?  The idea of crime mapping and intelligence-led policing has been on the streets for some time but the intelligence that can be found in jails is often forgotten.

During this presentation, we will discuss the tools available to mine for intelligence and how they can be used to not only proactively prevent crime in the jail, but solve crimes in the community.   Additionally, we will discuss the idea of crime mapping the jail and using this information to identify “hot” spots and focus intelligence and security efforts on those areas.

You will discover:

• The tools available to mine for intelligence
• How to use the information to identify “hot spots”
• How to focus intelligence and security efforts on “hot spots

The American Jail Association (AJA) is a national, nonprofit organization that supports the professionals who operate our Nation’s jails. It is the only national association that focuses exclusively on issues specific to the operations of local correctional facilities. The driving force behind the phenomenal growth of AJA is its members. AJA has taken a leadership role in developing the type of programs that promote the professional growth of the dedicated men and women who operate our Nation’s jails.  Jail staff have the responsibility for the management of people who have been charged with violating our laws and often mock the ideals on which AJA was founded. Jail personnel find themselves sorely tested each day in the jail environment when they receive scorn and derision for their loyalty and perseverance under extremely trying circumstances.  AJA takes this opportunity to salute the jail staff of the Nation who, by their dedication to the difficult task of local corrections, have made a vital, positive difference to the welfare of the communities they serve.  Click here to learn more about AJA. 

Tribal nations came before and now co-exist with the United States. Each tribal nation’s relationship with the United States federal government and state governments is unique and layered with complex forms of oppression and injustice. These relationships become more complicated with advocacy for companion animals, domestic animals, and wildlife who live on federally recognized reservations, when many tribal nations are still fighting for basic human rights, civil rights, and federal recognition. Given the expansiveness of tribal law and the uniqueness of each tribal nation, this webinar will highlight some common themes different tribal cultures share that are specific to animals; the struggles that occur in advocating for tribal nations’ needs and the needs of animals who live on reservations; and the challenges that exist with the imposition of mainstream culture onto tribal cultures.

This webinar will then propose collaborative methods with tribal nations that create solutions, which uplift all beings within tribal nations’ lands and legal jurisdictions.

The final webinar in this three-part series will demonstrate how to create a feedback loop between your data, your strategies, and your outcomes so that policing can hold their executives accountable through improved data analysis and the application of evidence-based practices. By applying new techniques, police leaders might find they are no longer chasing data and playing a game of whack-a-mole, but rather strategically allocating resources when appropriate and freeing up officers’ time to positively engage with their community.

In this age of neuro-science with focus on the physiological reaction of the brain and body to a trauma, recognition of the feelings experienced by the survivor as a result of the trauma has almost become secondary. This presentation reminds us of the importance of fear, anger, guilt and depression in response to trauma. We will discuss where these feelings come from, the role that they play in the traumatic response, and how we can assist the survivor with managing or coping with these feelings as part of their recovery from the trauma.
