Watch a preview of what TacMobility Burnout Recovery Training Looks Like 👇🏽
We've been researching and working with officers, dispatchers, tactical teams, supervisors and specialty units for 7 years and here's what we've learned:
Everyone Has Different Needs:
Line officers need both MH education and mobility for chronic pain in their hips, back, shoulders and ankles.
Dispatchers need breathing techniques to combat the rawness of caller crisis and neck stretches.
Tactical teams need breath-work techniques for controlling the OODA Loop during high-risk call-outs.
Supervisors need an outlet for the stress they carry for the team and way to identify stress symptoms in their people.
Specialty teams need body calming techniques and healthy boundaries to lower hyper-vigilance.
