About Compelled to B Well. LLC
Belinda Schlafer, LMHC, CCTP, EMDR-C
Belinda and Brent, a dynamic husband-wife team, have dedicated themselves to addressing the pressing issue of officer wellness in law enforcement agencies. With Belinda as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and EMDR certified, and Brent serving as the Wellness Coordinator for the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office, they bring a unique combination of expertise to their work.
Recognizing the profound impact of stress and trauma on officers’ mental health, they developed the Officer Wellness Program in 2021 in collaboration with the NYS OMH Division of Forensic Services. This program is designed to break down stigmas surrounding mental health treatment and foster an open culture within law enforcement agencies.
Mission-Driven Approach
Through their work, Belinda and Brent aim to:
- Reduce the stigma associated with seeking treatment for mental health concerns
- Encourage officers to openly discuss their struggles, creating a safe and supportive environment
- Provide practical wellness resources to help officers manage job-related stressors
Evidence-Based Solutions for Optimal Wellness
The Officer Wellness Program offers evidence-based strategies and tools to support officers in implementing personalized wellness plans. By equipping officers with the necessary skills and resources, they empower them to achieve their best life possible.
