​According to studies cited by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), between seven percent and 19 percent of police officers experience symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, compared to 3.5 percent of the general population. And 75% to 90% of all doctor's office visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints. Do you struggle with any of these things?

​

• Headaches

• High blood pressure

• Heart problems

• Diabetes

• Skin conditions

• Asthma

• Arthritis

• Depression

• Anxiety

Then there is a chance that stress is the cause.

​

If you try to ignore it, stress can compound and lead to catastrophic results. An Associated Press analysis of government CDC records indicates that American suicides are now at their highest point in 50 years. It's now the second-leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 35. Whether the stress you are experiencing is from Post-Traumatic Stress or from the general feeling of overwhelm, you deserve a life free from stress and a life full of confidence and freedom.

​

As 9/11 first responders and Law Enforcement Officers we’ve been there. Post-Traumatic Stress robbed us of what should have been some of the best years of our lives. We believed that no one could understand us. We thought we could figure it by ourselves. We isolated ourselves from everyone, including our own families. We let the stress build up to a breaking point where it cost us our freedom. We felt trapped, convinced that no one could understand what we were going through. We were tied up in everything that came with Post Traumatic Stress. We thought the only way out was to take our lives. We suffered suicidal ideations. And then we had a breakthrough.

​

It takes the same amount of courage to ask for help as it takes to run into a burning building or take a bullet. We knew how to do the two former things from our training. We realized that we had to make the choice to be courageous enough to ask for help when we found ourselves feeling anxious and stressed. We discovered that there were strategies that helped us feel less stressed and decided we needed to put it all in a workshop to help our fellow service men & women. We call A Badge of Honor: Wellness & Resiliency. Attending our workshops will help you:

​

• Feel more in control.

• Experience less stress.

• Be happier.

• Be more confident.

• Build more resilience.

• Communicate more effectively.

• Feel "connected" again.

 

It starts with a choice. The choice to be your own advocate and start making the changes you need to in order to get back to being “You.” The best you. The you that you were before all this stress started in your life.

​

By attending our Workshop, you’ll learn strategies that will help you prevent the stress and burnout that’s been plaguing you. We’ve been there and because of that we can deliver tried and true tactics which you will be able to put into practice immediately. There’s nothing to figure out, all the work has been done for you.

​

Our Workshop was created for first responders who experience stress on a daily basis, either from a pre-existing condition like PTS(D) (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), or from being in / working in a demanding environment in which stress causes feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, and / or burnout.

 

​

So now it’s your time to get back in the game called “your life” and enjoy the freedom you will experience with absolute control over your stress. Reach out to us today or register for an existing workshop.
