About the Episode

As much as I teach resilience, I’m more of a student than anything. I can’t recommend Dr. Stephanie Conn’s book Increasing Resilience in Police & Emergency Personnel enough. That being said, her skills in helping others build resilience extends to tools that anyone can use. As a Youth speaker, I owe it to the students I motivate to ensure that I am always learning about resilience to bring the best tools that I can to them.

Dr. Stephanie Conn is a former police officer, as well as the daughter and wife of police officers, and is a Licensed Psychologist at her practice, First Responder Psychology, in Portland, Oregon, specializing in first responder stress, trauma, work identity, coping, and resilience. She supports first responder agencies with CISM, peer support, and mental health training. She is the Clinical Director of Public Safety Assistance Network, a group of culturally competent clinicians who provide services to public safety agencies and assist in vetting clinicians for agencies in need. She has presented widely to first responders, sharing wisdom gained from her police experience, her research, and her therapy practice. She is the author of Increasing Resilience in Police and Emergency Personnel.
