Excellence in public safety requires a workforce with good mental health practices and departments that support mental health as a priority.

The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust has developed this toolkit to help our members address issues of public safety mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Due to the nature of your job duties, public safety personnel may be at increased risk of developing PTSD. PTSD and other mental health conditions are treatable, and in many cases, preventable.

Lora Setter, a former law enforcement officer, is available to help answer your questions regarding public safety mental health programs, current trends, and legislative efforts. Lora can be reached at lsetter@okc-be-dressed.net or (612) 248-9551.
