Webinar: PTSD, Cops & Writers, March 29th, 2025

Some estimates suggest that nearly 30% of all law enforcement officers suffer with post traumatic stress disorder —an alarming statistic for men and women who are thoroughly screened to get their jobs. Learn about the rarely-recognized factors that put officers at risk and will make your police characters all the more real. As a police psychologist for 40+ years, Ellen will tell you what no one else will.

Ellen is the author of I Love a Cop: What Police Families Need to Know, I Love a Fire Fighter: What the Family Needs to Know, Counseling Cops: What Clinicians Need to Know (with J. Fay and M. Kamena) and the five-book Dot Meyerhoff mystery series. Dot is a police psychologist who should be counseling cops, not solving crimes. Too dedicated for her own good, what she does to help her clients would have caused the real Ellen to lose her license.
