Hi, Susanna here. Question posed to me was, how do you handle the emotional toll that working with victims and offenders can take? You know, being in law enforcement for just a little over 20 years, I found that finding at least one good thing every single day was very helpful to move past difficult situations, difficult times, working with difficult people inside and outside the organization, and simply to see the good every single day. As corny as that may sound, there's research to back it up now, which is pretty amazing and pretty awesome. It validates this type of practice. So really being grateful and seeing the good every single day can transform your life. And so I would highly recommend that whether you're in law enforcement or not, it's a life skill that can really pay dividends when you're struggling. We all do. Thanks.
