C.O.P.S. Fiancés & Significant Others Retreat is planned for surviving fiancés and significant others (21 years or older) of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, according to C.O.P.S. criteria

Surviving Fiancés, Significant Others, and Life Partners have to cope with the fact that the plans they made for the future have drastically changed with the loss of their officer. They frequently struggle with the missed opportunities they face throughout their grief journey.  The goal of the C.O.P.S. Fiancés & Significant Others Retreat is to provide the necessary tools to help you work through those emotions and meet peers who understand.

At the retreat, you will get to participate in fun group activities in a relaxed setting away from your everyday stressors.  You will also meet licensed mental health professionals who will offer group sessions and provide optional one-on-one counseling.
