Description: Detailed guidebook for starting a support group for family members of police. However as a set of guidelines, has wider potential applicability (e.g. Youth Justice workers, Corrections Officers).
What's the evidence base for this resource: The guidelines are based on case examples, the experiences of the project team, and consultation with relevant stakeholders.
Potential uses and limitations: Is very practical and detailed, going through a range of steps and considerations for establishing family support groups. May need some adaptation for an Australian context, and for settings other than police.
Where it comes from: International Association of Chiefs of Police. 2019. How to Start a Law Enforcement Family Support Group: Insights and Considerations. Washington, DC: Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.
