This episode incorporates a class offered for the Hanover County (Virginia) Sheriff's Office with permission. The intended audience was the chaplains program participants, but as Captain Terry Sullivan states in the introduction, the self care principals apply across the helping vocations, especially law enforcment officers. The class was recorded live on December 2, 2022.
