Police marriages face unique and specific challenges, which is why we created a retreat for police marriages that is both unique and specific in the therapy it offers.
OUR PRESENTERS speak not only from clinical experience as licensed therapists, but they speak from the personal experience of being former police officers or spouses of police officers.
OUR CURRICULUM is customized to address the specific needs of the attendees through the distribution of anonymous surveys prior to the retreat.
OUR LOCATION is comfortable private confidential and secure. Discount travel & lodging available.

POLICE SPOUSES
MARRIAGE RESILIENCY COACHING™: POLICE SPOUSES
As a police officer, you understand how your career influences your marriage and family whether you are on or off duty. You also understand that it takes a special person to be the kind of spouse you most need. The adversity you face on the job can sometimes be an adversity you face in the marriage.
