Turning vulnerability into strength through learning, utilizing, and offering peer support
Officers’ Comments about PCIS
“For those who are looking for support from people who understand you, this is the place. I feel it can positively change your home life and career outlook.”
“Don’t ever cut this program short. It was on the third day that everything came together for me, and I understood that out of this incident, there is a meaning for life and death.”
“I realized that I had more hidden trauma than I thought. Hearing other people’s traumas allowed me to realize that it was okay to speak on my own.”
“All of the boxes that I thought I had stored far, far away came to the forefront. This was a great thing. I always knew I had issues that needed to be addressed. This seminar simply confirmed it. I am looking forward to additional therapy and more self-health to make a better colleague, wife, mother, and friend. Thank all of you for helping me fix me!”
“My mindset shifted. I’ve always been told to suck it up and move on to the next call. I now realize its ok for things to affect me and to need to work through them.”
"It is truly a mind-opening experience. There is nothing like it. If you invest yourself into it, you will leave even a little better, and that is the goal."

Clinicians’ Feedback about PCIS:
“I’ve had several first responders speak with me about their experience with PCIS and all they could do was praise it and how it positively impacted their life. They were the ones pushing others to reach out and go even more enthusiastically than the professionals I’ve met who were there as supports!”
“In a couple, I was seeing prior to their attendance to PCIS, I saw a night and day difference in them after they came back. They work better together and are more understanding of one another.”
