The course
From Surviving
to Thriving
Understanding PTSI from a Policing Perspective
This self-paced online course is for police officers and the people who love them. It is about helping you stay healthy in a highly stressful job.
You will learn to understand your stress response, remove the stigma around post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI), recognize the early indicators, and take actionable steps to build resiliency.
Who it’s for

Why it matters
Act early. Get help sooner.
Officers spend their careers seeing and experiencing things most people never will. Without the right knowledge, the early signs of a stress injury are easy to miss, by officers and by the people who love them.
This course helps you recognize what is happening and understand how treatment works, so you can get help immediately instead of waiting until things escalate.

In their own words.
From first responders who know Colleen’s work.
Read all testimonialsI wish I had access to this type of help, education, and understanding much earlier in my career. It could have been a game changer for me and my mental health as well as my personal relationships with those close to me.
The support received through Colleen’s training helped me get my life back and return to work. … Instead of running away from our issues we should ALL be running towards this program.
I am incredibly grateful that I found that help when I needed it most and I think Colleen’s program will provide departments with an excellent tool to hopefully curb the number of good people that you’re losing on an annual basis.
