Mental & Behavioral Health
We know the burden you carry as fellow officers and how it is too easy to bring the job home with you every day and that can take a toll on your overall well-being.
It is ok to ask for help. And please know that you are NEVER alone. We are always here to help you. All you have to do is take the first step and reach out and ASK FOR HELP.
We are excited to offer various programs to assist with mental health, PTSD, behavioral health, and addiction treatment in partnership with LEHB and our Chaplain Lou Campione. Each of these programs developed as a result of needs of our members and their families. These resources have been tested and have proven themselves as valuable resources. These programs assist in the healing process, as we have seen lives, marriages, and families restored.
We have more than eleven hundred providers available: psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and social workers to address mental health concerns. Whatever the need is, we can find a resource for you. Please use the programs, to help let the healing begin and to help you get to a safe place.

We have received requests for help regarding gambling, as it can affect every facet of your life. It can change your perception, strain your relationships and interfere with your obligations and responsibilities. You may think you can stop any time you want. However, you just can’t seem to do it. Compulsive gambling is an addiction which can be successfully treated if you get the right help.
