Why we do what we do
helping first responders since 2017
Arkansas Law Enforcement Assistance Program
our mission
Our mission since day one has been to assist first responders with the critical incidents they deal with day in and day out. We first and foremost assist with the mental health issues these incidents can cause. We also provide assistance with an individuals health in other aspects as well as offer access to numerous other resources.
what we do
ARLEAP is here for you and here to help. As an organization we are not sponsored by any particular entity, but are supported by many. In most cases our staff volunteer their time, because they are dedicated to helping others. No one understands first responders like other first responders. We answer the call because we, too, know what it is like to face the many hazards of a life in law enforcement.
ARLEAPs Post Critical Incident Seminar retreats are modeled after a highly effective, peer driven program developed by the FBI. The three-day retreats consist of conversations, workshops, therapy, and evening fellowship.

what is a post critical incident seminar?
First responders across the US are exposed to high stress on a daily basis, but from time to time encounter extraordinarily traumatic situations. Over 20 years ago, the FBI developed a highly effective program for post-incident training in critical incident stress. PCIS has literally meant the difference between staying on the job and leaving due to unresolved effects of critical incident stress.

how you can help
All of our peers that directly assist our participants during our seminars have either gone through the program previously or are professionals. However, there are several different ways that you can help what we are trying to do. We are always looking for cash donations to help pay for hosting facilities, meals, snacks throughout the day, evening entertainment during fellowship, and professional services.
WE can’t do this alone
ARLEAP can’t do this alone. We often receive assistance and give assistance to other sister programs all over the US. Here are some of the other programs who are doing the same thing to help others along their journey.
Testimonials From Our participants
Everything we do at ARLEAP during PCIS is completely confidential. However, we get participants who want to share their story with the world or talk about how PCIS helped them and changed their lives.

This event has given me a chance to look at my struggles in a little different light. I know I am not alone now. I have benefited from attending and walk away a little less broken. I still have a long way to go, but for the first time in a long time, I do not feel numb.
