Synopsis

A state-of-the-profession update of the pioneering guide for peace officers and other first responders — and those who care about them

Post-traumatic stress, suicide, and various emotionally distressing psychological symptoms plague the first responder professions. The daily work traumas experienced by these public servants can injure the brain’s normal functioning and ultimately can become crippling, impairing their ability to professionally serve and to remain well and at peace. This book has given hope to thousands of peace officers, firefighters, EMTs, healthcare professionals, and military personnel by offering a path toward wholeness to recover, heal, and enhance resilience and physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

Retired police captain Dan Willis, with forty years in the profession (thirty as an officer and ten training first responders), presents more than forty evidence-based wellness and resilience strategies in this book. Bulletproof Spirit provides a proven survival and wellness blueprint that offers peace officers and other first responders the best chance to heal and thrive throughout their careers.
