Nonprofit helps law enforcement officers cope with mental health issues

Officer Support Initiative combats mental health stigma

ORLANDO, Fla. – Today, we are welcoming in members from the Officer Support Initiative.

The organization’s primary goal is to break the stigma when it comes to mental health struggles, especially where law enforcement officers are concerned.

In the past, they have teamed up with the Orlando Magic and portions of proceeds from tickets from select games go right back to the organization so that they can continue to provide resources to law enforcement officers who need them.
