Two perspectives. A retired Cold Case Homicide detective, Jason Palamara, and acclaimed author and thanatologist, Barbara Rubel, whose parents were police officers. As you read this book on law enforcement wellness, you'll notice that each chapter begins with Palamara's memoir, In My Experience and Lessons Learned and describes how he coped with on the job traumatic experiences, such as 9/11, homicide of young victims, and LODD.
Rubel's section, My Story and Evidence-Based Practices follows, and includes cutting-edge science, research-based practices, and personal insight. She shares her childhood stories of living blue, as well as the devastating loss of her father, a retired sergeant, who died by suicide while she was awaiting the birth of triplets.
What sets this book apart is its approach to vicarious trauma-informed practices based on the personal experiences of the authors, and that of over 70 law enforcement professionals and experts in mental health.
In Living Blue, you will learn how to:
- Incorporate a vicarious trauma-informed approach to supporting law enforcement personnel.
- Address compassion fatigue, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and moral injury.
- Challenge the culture and stigma that create barriers to seeking support.
- Strengthen resilience and support posttraumatic growth.
- Advance evidence-informed approaches to reducing law enforcement suicide risk.
- While Living Blue is written primarily for those responsible for supporting police wellness-including psychologists, clinicians, supervisors, leaders, and policymakers-it is equally relevant for officers. Officers bring firsthand knowledge of the realities of the profession, and their engagement is essential to creating meaningful and sustainable wellness initiatives.
