Episode Details

Laura currently runs 5-0 Mental Health, focused on all things support for officers and their families: mental wellness visits, training and resources.  However, her work in service to others spans many years and horizons.

It was a humbling and fascinating chat for me to learn more about this dynamic and selfless human being. 

Laura has been in the law enforcement/mental health field for over 15 years. Most notably, she has worked in military prison as well as a supermax correctional facility, as an emergency department social worker in a major Boston hospital, a police officer, and a co responding clinician with Boston Police. 

Laura served on CISM unit and has responded to support individual officers and police departments in dealing with various critical incidents as well as co-facilitating debriefings following a critical incident. Laura is also utilized on the Code 99 team to assist in hostage negotiations/barricaded subjects with Boston Police. She holds a master’s degree in social work and is independently licensed.
