Manhattan Beach Police Department Wellness Retreat

Experiencing stress and witnessing traumatic events have a lasting impact with symptoms that can linger for months or even years if not properly addressed. Whether you are a first responder, professional staff, or hold a leadership role, you may find that you tend to push down feelings and carry on as usual, even though you may be struggling to process high levels of stress, fear, guilt, and grief. In response, the brain sends out distress signals that create emotional, physical, and psychological symptoms that can negatively impact your overall health, sleep, concentration, emotional regulation, and more.

This 3 day / 2 night retreat is held at our Eagle Creek Retreat Center in Idyllwild, California. The retreat is specially designed so you can learn to identify necessary skills for stress reduction and mental health mitigation techniques to improve overall mental performance.
