Military, Veterans, Public Safety (MVPS) Council Meeting

Description

Not all heroes where capes! Join us for an enlightening conversation with a couple of our local heroes! 

Throughout his law enforcement career, Mr. Lee served as the Department’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordinator from 2004 to 2016 and was a core instructor with the Regional Community Policing Institute–California from 2001 to 2018. Since 2007, he has also served as an adjunct instructor for FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute, supporting CERT Train-the-Trainer and Program Manager courses in Emmitsburg, Maryland, as well as training initiatives across the United States and internationally. His contributions include curriculum development and instruction in community policing, terrorism liaison officer training, instructor development, internet and cyber safety, school resource officer programs, and volunteer management.

As a longtime volunteer and national leader within the Young Marines, Mr. Lee has played a significant role in advancing the organization’s mission of leadership, citizenship, and character development for youth. His commitment to mentoring young people and strengthening volunteer leadership has helped support the growth and success of the program nationwide, ensuring that Young Marines are prepared to become responsible, productive citizens and community leaders.

While many people have heard of PTSD, fewer are familiar with moral injury, the emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual impact that can occur when someone experiences, witnesses, or is unable to prevent events that conflict with their deeply held values and beliefs. Moral injury can affect veterans, active-duty military, first responders, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and others who serve in challenging environments.

Join us as we explore why understanding moral injury matters, how it impacts individuals and families, and how Willing Warriors can play a role in supporting healing and connection.
