Faith-Based Resources for LEOs & Significant Others

We hear a lot about mental health and physical health, but there is also another side of things in terms of our health and overall well-being: spiritual faith-based resources. These may include churches, chaplains, books or organizations that are LEO friendly or LEO focused and may be for just LEOs or for the whole family. This is not an exhaustive list, but we hope it is a good start, and if you know of any we should add, please let us know through our contact page!

FamilyLife's Home Builder Series: Protecting Your First Responder Marriage

Having a strong, healthy marriage isn't always easy. For police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel, it can be grueling. Making the shift from "society guardian" to "family member" can be particularly demanding. FamilyLife understands the rigorous demands that are placed on first-responder marriages and has addressed them in this four-session small group study.
