RITE Mental Health and Officer Wellness TRAINERS CLASS (Orlando)
January 27 - January 28

Registration is OPEN for LAW Enforcement, Guardians, SRO, Fire Department and Corrections Trainers. Limited to the first 35 that register.
This Trainer’s course goes beyond your average class, as it is a game changer for the long-term retention and well-being of all sworn and non-sworn officers. Trainers will leave the course with specific RITE TOOLS and knowledge that will help your agency to develop strategies for improved officer retention.
Training includes insight for:
- Methods to prevent burnout
- Jumping departments, or early retirement
- Preventable terminations
- Reducing risk of tragic outcomes that includes suicide
Many times coworkers and zone partners escalate situations because they themselves are in a negative space. Having emotional self-control means you value yourself, and are willing to work on yourself. But not all officers know how to ASK for help. De-escalation starts here.
RITE includes Emotional Response Training (ERT) to help officers learn to recognize signs and symptoms of stress, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. ERT offers ways and means to build up positive mental health for every officer, and a way to work on themselves in their own space and time.
RITE is nationally recognized in encouraging positive morale inside the agency.
We dig into mental health challenges and successes that affect all first responders. The training sheds light on the huge impact of PTSD, for both active and retired officers. Since 2015, RITE engages in an interactive setting, for Trainers to understand these critical issues, and how to use the tools and lessons in the classes they will be teaching.
