PSYC 2320 - 50
J. Fountain
Central Wyoming College
Careers in law enforcement present unique psychological and social challenges. In this course, the student will explore the societal, organizational, systemic, operational, and personal stressors faced by many who work in law enforcement. The student will examine the effects of both chronic and acute stressors, including challenges to interpersonal relationships, substance use disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The student will also explore both maladaptive coping strategies, which can impair psychological and physiological health, and adaptive coping strategies, which can promote wellness and increase resiliency for themselves, their families, coworkers, and the law-enforcement community. A student earning credit in this course may not earn credit in PSYC 2320. (3 lect.)
