OWN IT - Officer Wellness and Nutrition

OWN IT – OFFICER WELLNESS AND NUTRITION

1-Day Course • 7 Minnesota POST credits

Law enforcement agencies must recognize the connection between physical fitness, mental health, and the overall well-being of their officers. OWN IT provides practical tools and a proactive approach to officer wellness that improves quality of life, resilience, and productivity. This training encourages a culture of help-seeking behaviors and empowers officers to take ownership of their personal health.

The course is built on the four pillars of health—nutrition, exercise, mental wellness, and sleep—delivered in an interactive format that allows officers to apply the concepts to their own lives. Whether seeking individual self-improvement or aiming to lead organizational change, participants will leave with strategies to enhance both personal and professional performance.

When officers are able to improve their own health, they become more resilient to the mental and emotional challenges of the profession. Positive change starts with you. It’s time to OWN IT.
