ABOUT THE LEMHWA PROGRAM
The Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) program will fund the delivery of and access to mental health and wellness services for law enforcement officers and their families through the implementation of peer support, training, family resources, suicide prevention, stress reduction, clinical support, and other promising practices for wellness programs.
This goal will be achieved by:
- Increasing law enforcement agency capacity to provide mental health and wellness training and resources for employees of law enforcement agencies and their families.
- Increasing law enforcement agency capacity to implement peer support networks for crisis and non-crisis circumstances.
- Increasing law enforcement agency capacity to address and reduce the stigma associated with officer mental health and wellness by supporting the implementation of mental health education and development of resources.
