C.O.P.S. ~ Spouses Weekend Retreat

C.O.P.S. Spouses Weekend is planned for surviving spouses of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, as determined by C.O.P.S. criteria. Experiencing the unimaginable death of your spouse can leave you struggling with profound changes, from reshaping life goals to navigating parenting, and the challenges of loneliness. At C.O.P.S. Spouses Weekend, you will find a supportive and safe environment where you can connect with others who truly understand your grief journey.

This weekend offers a welcoming space to relax and recharge. Licensed mental health professionals will be on hand to provide group sessions and optional individual counseling, as needed, ensuring you receive the necessary support to help you continue on your grief journey. Support sessions are coupled with wellness activities, giving you the chance to challenge yourself and connect with others with similar experiences. With the peaceful escape from daily life this weekend offers, our goal is for you to leave with a newfound sense of personal growth, lasting connections, and an expanded support network.

Testimonial from a 2024 Spouses Weekend Attendee:

“I choose to attend to be around others with the same experiences that I don’t have at home. I made new friendships, laughed for the first time in months, and gained knowledge about grief and feelings from counseling sessions.”
