...because the ocean will always be the ocean.

 Good intentions are simply not good enough.  Your vision of wellness can only be achieved once impacted individuals and organizations commit to the development, implementation, application and sustainment of a viable plan.  The mE2We™ approach can help you achieve this goal.  It's not magic.  It's about doing the work.

mE2We™ employs a practical, algorithmic and heuristics-based approach to help build and sustain organizational wellness, peer support, and Crisis Intervention Team operations. The truth is that there is no one-size fits all model able to meet every need in every situation. Case studies indicate the most successful approaches include a menu of normative based options which honor a “mission first, people always” mindset.  mE2We™ is not a cookie cutter solution”.  Instead, it provides tools which helps the end users build a pathway suited to their needs and available resources. The intent is to provide sustainable and scalable solutions at inception, during implementation, and continuing through delivery and evaluation. 

 The mE2We™ concepts are anchored in training approaches already familiar to the safety and service disciplines and applicable across the operational spectrum. In fact, the process is specifically designed to withstand the rigors of first responder and first line service provider operations. 

 The initial impetus for the program was born from a need to create a dynamic and practical approach to the implementation of Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) within our communities.  Those efforts have evolved into the flagship mE2We™ for Crisis Intervention Team Enhancement training.  This offering is specifically designed to foster buy-in and forge community partnerships with CIT services. It targets CIT operators, clinicians, community stakeholders, and decisionmakers. It can serve as an introduction to CIT, as an in-service update, or as part of team building.  It highlights the importance of CIT services to the community by reminding us that NOBODY is immune or untouched by behavioral health issues. It uses interactive exercises and an original algorithm called AIMed³© to illustrate that healthy, well-trained responders are critical in cultivating prosperous communities. The training has been delivered to various clients to include regular sessions sponsored by Maryland Mid-Shore CIT through the Sante Group.

It became evident during the fielding of the initial CIT version of the course that a critical need for officer wellness had to be addressed.  The response was to harness the fundamentals of the course and adapt key concepts into a suite of classes designed to support officer resiliency.  The mE2We™ Wellness for Public Safety and Service Providers program consists of modules which can be delivered independently or “mixed and matched”. The courses are intended to be adaptable and can be tailored to support full curriculum trainings, conference style presentations, or roll call delivered learning. This includes expanding and/or combining content to create customized in-person or on-line sessions. Marc Junkerman, LLC.™ also welcomes the opportunity to co-facilitate with other presenters who have specific experience or topical knowledge which enhances the training’s impact.
