International Conference of Police Chaplains

On August 13 at 4:00 PM ET, Chaplain Charlie Wharton will lead an online Enrichment Training session titled "Dealing with Discouragement in Us and Them."

Discouragement is a common challenge in chaplaincy and can affect both chaplains and the officers they serve. This training will explore how to identify the signs of discouragement in ourselves and others, while providing practical strategies to minimize its impact and maintain resilience in ministry and service.

We hope you'll join us for this valuable and member only encouraging session.

Recovery doesn't begin after a crisis—it starts with preparation.

Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) provides a framework that helps individuals and teams prepare for challenging events, respond effectively when they occur, support recovery, and strengthen long-term resilience.

Whether you support first responders, healthcare professionals, emergency communications personnel, military members, chaplains, peer supporters, or crisis response teams, understanding the recovery process is essential to sustaining a healthy workforce.
