A Note from Chaplain Mike Ryan, Region 2 Director

On behalf of our ICPC leadership, I want to welcome your participation in our annual ICPC Region 2 Regional Training Seminar. This year’s conference will offer a balance of ICPC Basic Training along with advance courses designed to address the challenges addressed in the field.

We are honored to have Dr. Ellen Kirschman & Dr. Joel Fay as our plenary session speakers.

Dr. Kirschman has been a police and public safety psychologist for over thirty years. Her work with first responders has taken her to four countries and twenty-two states. She is the recipient of several awards and in 2014 was honored to receive the California Psychological Association's award for distinguished contribution to psychology. Her book, I Love a Cop: What Police Families Need to Know, has sold more than 100,000 copies. Her other books include, I Love a Fire Fighter: What the Family Needs to Know, and Counseling Cops: What Clinicians Need to Know which was written with Joel Fay and Mark Kamena.

Dr. Fay is a Psychologist in Marin County and a retired police officer with over 30 years of experience working as an emergency responder. He specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders and the effects of trauma exposure including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He is a founding member of the First Responder Support Network and a lead clinician with the West Coast Post-trauma Retreat (WCPR). He is also a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Psychological Services Section and the California Psychological Association.

We are also once again honored to also have ICPC’s Academic Registrar, John Transue, who will assist us with our academic needs and opportunities.

Our experience together at Canon Beach Conference Center affords many opportunities to strengthen and make new friendships, deepen our resilience in service, and raise the bar as proactive chaplains who are committed to the care of our charges in law enforcement.

As ever, if I or our area representatives can serve you in any way, please let us know. Thanks in advance for being with us.

Stay safe and God bless,
