The Armor Your Self™ Training Programs

The program is presented in several formats: live training on-site, online with all pre-recorded information, live online with Zoom training and as Trained Facilitator Training where your people can be licensed to teach our materials.

In all the training formats we require that all of your employees participate and each participant receives a copy of the 458-page, softcover, resilience textbook: Armor Your Self: How To Survive A Career In Law Enforcement by John Marx

We encourage providing our training to all employees including sworn, non-sworn, reserve and volunteers because they all feel the effects of the traumas of this profession.  We also believe that wellness and resilience are symbiotic systems made up of several critical parts that must work in tandem in order for the whole to be effective.

Participants will find the tools they need to recognize the symptoms of the toxic effects and hidden dangers of a career in law enforcement.

Each participant will create an action plan to thrive and flourish in life and their career. They will also build a plan to help their family, peers, team and organization.

Every one of our training programs in all the formats include a personalized and password protected group webpage on our Armor Your Self™ site where we store any videos and downloadable support materials for the training.
