Mental Health and Wellness

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) continues to focus its resources on the critical question regarding how police respond to those experiencing a mental health crisis. In pursuit of supporting law enforcement in prioritizing their mental health and well-being, BJA is proud to be able to provide no-cost technical assistance to departments through the Law Enforcement-Mental Health Collaboration Support Center.

Assessed a request for assistance in identifying appropriate resources for preventing law enforcement officer suicide. Following assessment, resources were identified and distributed to the requestor and additional assistance was offered in the future if needed.
