Virginia Sheriffs' Institute
Supporting Virginia’s Sheriffs & Deputies

In January 2025, Sheriff Kyle Moore and Lieutenant Phillips attended a two-day Struggle Well training class. The program is designed to help officers navigate the challenges that come not only with their profession but also with everyday life. Struggle Well is a training initiative developed to support first responders and military personnel, with a focus on Posttraumatic Growth (PTG).

“By partnering with first responder agencies and active-serving military units, we’re fundamentally changing the culture from the inside out.”

Sheriff Moore was so impressed by the training that he arranged for his entire department to participate in a one-day course tailored by the Struggle Well team. To date, approximately 90% of the department has completed the training.
