We are present before the crisis, during it, and long after. And because our chaplains operate under Clergy-Penitent Privilege, officers can be fully honest in a way they often cannot be with department-connected resources.

Officers face the highest statistics of any profession for divorce, suicide, substance abuse, domestic violence, and stress-related illness. They are under constant threat \u2014 not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. While mental health resources have improved, the spiritual dimension of officer wellness is still largely overlooked. Paraclete exists to fill that gap, offering confidential, faith-based support that addresses the whole person.\u00a0 Perhaps most important is Paraclete helps prepare officers, professional staff, and their families IN ADVANCE of the events that will deeply impact the lives of those on scene, supporting, or at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Is Paraclete affiliated with a specific church or denomination?&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#1A376F&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#1A376F&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Paraclete is an independent Christian ministry, not affiliated with a specific church or denomination.
