My Favorite Review: "This book is spot on! The following phrase is normally over-rated, but it is not here... THIS IS A MUST READ FOR ALL COPS. It could literally save lives, if not at least careers, marriages, relationships, friendships, etc.
It starts with a solid educational foundation that is an easy read for cops who like researchers to get to the point. The research is impeccable, but the stories told will have you nodding your head at each turn of the page. It progresses into teaching folks how to manage the stressors. The tips presented will provide some wellness exercises, tips, and life information to help folks navigate the stressors that inflict unnecessary damage to many in our profession.
Dr. Conn has seemed to have also mastered the format that will be edible for cops. This is written in a conversational tone, and is not overindulgent with research (although you can tell that it is there). It's almost like it was written by a cop...(Spoiler Alert: she was a cop, and is married to one, the daughter of one...)" submitted by Assistant Chief Tim Cohoon, Braintree Police Dept.

Written in 2018, Increasing Resilience in Police & Emergency Personnel. Strengthening Your Mental Armor, was born out of Stephanie's personal and professional experience. It was important to her to help others she would never meet. After writing a police mental health column for years, she decided that it might be helpful to put it all together in one place for first responders to access, as needed. The book addresses challenges through 4 lenses- the line officer, dispatcher/call-taker, police administrator, and family member. Feedback supports that the strategies offered in this book equally apply to other first responder professions.
