Dr. Serena Liebengood - How Culture Change Can Improve Officer Wellness

Law enforcement wellness is often talked about after a tragedy. In this episode, Dr. Serena Liebengood brings the conversation back to where it belongs: the daily strain, repeated exposure, and quiet pressure officers carry long before anyone else notices.

As founder of the Howard C. Liebengood Foundation, Dr. Liebengood speaks from personal loss and professional purpose. Her late husband, Howie Liebengood, was a U.S. Capitol Police officer whose life of service now drives a broader mission to improve health and wellness across the profession.

This conversation does not offer easy slogans or quick fixes. It looks at the realities officers, families, chiefs, sheriffs, and agencies face every day, including the cumulative weight of trauma, the culture around asking for help, and the challenge of turning research into action across thousands of departments.

Dr. Liebengood also shares how the foundation is bringing together voices from law enforcement, health care, research, labor, and leadership to build practical, lasting change.

For anyone who cares about public safety, officer wellness, or the families behind the badge, this is a thoughtful and necessary conversation worth listening to.
