MyOmnia The Crisis Behind the Badge • 39% of officers suffer from depression due to job stress (Police1, 2024) • 16% experienced suicidal ideation in the last year • 35% distrust EAP programs; 39% are undecided • Key Barriers: confidentiality concerns, lack of cultural competency, limited access 2

  3. MyOmnia Breaking Down Barriers – The Cultural Competency Imperative • Cultural competence is essential in police wellness programs: • Understanding police culture and hierarchy • Operational realities: shift work, trauma exposure • Professional concerns: career implications, security clearances • Family dynamics: relationships under stress 3

  4. MyOmnia Strategic EAP Collaboration Models • Model 1: Retainer System • Direct officer-to-provider contact • Confidentiality ensured • Model 2: Embedded Mental Health Professionals • Psychologists ride with officers • Real-time crisis response & trust-building • Model 3: Hybrid Networks • Specialized, culturally sensitive providers • Example: MyOmnia’s Informed-Wholeness approach 4
