Spctrum of Recovery - Management -MICC10 Mike Mitchell

Spectrum of Recovery - Management

My name is Michael Mitchell; I am an officer with the California Highway Patrol. I am a candidate in the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, Master Instructor Certification Course (MICC) class #10. This course is designed to prepare law enforcement instructors to design, develop and deliver a 24 hour course. I am currently purposing a course on PEER support as related to providing assistance to seriously injured officers. PEER support as used in this course is defined as; a person offering support due to that person having “been there and/or done that” and can relate to others who are experiencing similar circumstances.

The purpose of this survey is to determine the necessity of supporting seriously injured employees using a PEER capacity program) from initial injury through home recovery. Your input will assist me in developing a course that would assist those seriously injured employees returning to work through PEER support. Please complete the survey below. No personal information will be used in this survey. If you have expertise in this subject matter and wish to assist with the development this course, please provide your contact information at the end of this survey.
Thank you for taking the time to assist me by completing this survey. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
