Officer Wellness & Resilience
Supporting the People Behind the Badge.
The Jeffersontown Police Foundation seeks to support the wellness program at the Jeffersontown Police Department by helping provide resources and opportunities that promote the mental, emotional and physical well-being of the men and women who serve our community.
The demands of a career in law enforcement can take a lasting toll on physical health, mental health and family life. Wellness resources give officers opportunities to recover, build resilience, seek support and maintain their health throughout their careers.
Your contribution can help fund and expand these vital resources.
Support Officer Wellness →Why It Matters
The risks of policing don’t end when the shift does. Officers routinely encounter traumatic events, human suffering, unpredictable danger, shift work and disrupted sleep. Over the course of a career, those demands can affect physical health, emotional well-being and family life.
CUMULATIVE STRESSRepeated exposure to high-stress situations can build over the course of a law-enforcement career.
TRAUMAOfficers may repeatedly encounter danger, tragedy and potentially traumatic events.
PHYSICAL HEALTHSleep disruption, demanding schedules and occupational stress can affect long-term health and readiness.
FAMILYThe demands of police work can reach beyond the shift and affect officers and the people who support them.
