The NEW Law Enforcement Family Helpline Has Launched!
The How 2 Love Our Cops' Peer Support Team began in late 2020, after witnessing a great need for family members to talk through the difficulties they faced that year and moving forward. Since then we have brought in excellent trainers from Warrior's Rest Foundation to teach the CISM models for individuals and groups to our volunteer staff at How 2 Love Our Cops. Our certified team of volunteers are all spouses or family members of Law Enforcement or First Responders. They truly understand this career and the challenges that come along with sharing our loved ones with the public as they put their lives on the line every day.
And now, the next step in providing help for our families is here! In partnership with Cordico, families now have access to trained family member peers through our national (non-emergency) helpline.

We educate, encourage and equip law enforcement
families to thrive relationally, emotionally and spiritually.
We serve active duty and retired law enforcement families, including those wounded in the line of duty.
We create resources, events, and programs that educate, encourage, and equip law enforcement families to help them love and support their officers. We do this by building into homes proactively, and meet them in crisis and its aftermath. This support creates positivity in the life of officers and their families, setting the tone and laying a healthy foundation that will help them to thrive on duty and off.
With all of the opposition to our officers these days, this job is getting tougher. Many of our officers are stumbling beneath the weight of all this job gives them.
The typical American will experience three overwhelming incidents in their lifetime. The average officer will experience 200 of these types of incidents in their career. The result has an impact on the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of our officers--whether they choose to acknowledge it or not.
We believe the family is the critical piece of keeping our cops healthy. We’ve seen it done in the lives of our volunteers and those we come alongside. We’ve lived it! Educated and supported families have been and will be a critical factor in keeping the thin blue line intact…for such a time as this.
We are constantly learning, tuning in to experts, and listening to the hearts and thoughts of law enforcement families across the United States, Canada, and beyond. Where we don’t have expertise, we partner with others to bring the very best resources to law enforcement families. Our conferences, books, blogs, seminars, trainings, and even our fundraisers are designed to incorporate education, encouragement, and positive perspectives.
It is our pursuit to continue to learn and grow in our own lives, so that we can provide the very best resources for you.
How2LoveOurCops is a 501(c)(3) organization that is dedicated to the relational, emotional and spiritual wellness of law enforcement families.
"You can also support our mission year-round to educate, encourage and equip law enforcement families to thrive relationally, emotionally, and spiritually."
We believe in strengthening families on these three foundational areas:
Building Resilience
Restoring Hope
Thriving Together
