Officer Suicide Prevention Resources on JUSTNET

JUSTNET has added a new section of resources on officer suicide prevention at https://www.justnet.org/Suicide-Prevention-Resources.html. Law enforcement officers, due at least in part to the many stress factors they face on a constant basis, are at a heightened risk for suicide. Coping with daily exposure to violence, rotating shifts that keep them away from their families and exposure to other traumatic events takes a toll on officers' mental health. Law enforcement leaders looking to proactively intervene and possibly prevent further officer suicides may find the listed resources useful; please check back often for updates.
