We are happy to work together with WNY Compassion Connection to help our officers learn more about handling grief and loss during difficult times in our community. Their organization is a valuable resource that creates a safe and comforting space for children, parents, and loved ones as they navigate personal losses.Law enforcement officers and first responders run toward crisis—often witnessing death, tragedy, and unimaginable loss as part of their daily work. Grief accumulates. It settles into the body, the mind, and the heart.Grief literacy and meaningful support aren’t optional—they’re essential.At the heart of our work, is a commitment to equipping those who are grieving and those who walk alongside them with the understanding, language, and resources they need to better navigate. Yesterday, we were honored to welcome Cheektowaga Police Chief Brian Coons, Lieutenant Caleb Harte(Cheektowaga Police Wellness Program) and Deanna Schaumloeffel (Crisis Response Diversion Coordinator at Crisis Services/Chair of Police Mental Health Coordination Project, and a trained WNYCC volunteer) to gain insight and feedback to develop quality offerings that will help our first responders continue to serve with wholeness and hope. Communities are made stronger by supporting the hearts of those who protect them. 💙🚓🚑🚒 We are so grateful to count this honorable group in as part of our Compassion Connection.🫶🏻 ...
