Trauma and Resilience Retreat
October 13 - 16, 2025
Critical incidents, officer involved shootings, and other situations are considered traumatic events. And these types of incidents typically cause unusually strong emotional reactions that have the potential to interfere with the ability to function normally. It is very common, and in fact quite normal, for people to feel emotional aftershocks when they have experienced a tragic event. Designed by experts in treating traumatic stress injuries, this retreat provides insight, healing, education, and support. We will work together to address personal difficulties and occupational trauma.
Come explore the sacrifices and rewards of your experience as a first responder. Leave renewed with improved overall mental performance and a solid plan of how to implement healthy practices. This is a 4 day / 3 night retreat held at our Eagle Creek Retreat Center in Idyllwild, California.
