by Mike Lockington (Author)

Resilience on the Front Line is a practical, boots-on-the-ground guide for anyone working-or caring about someone working-on the front lines of trauma.

Drawing on nearly thirty years experience as a police officer and Wellness leader, author Mike Lockington offers 101 real-world recommendations to help trauma-exposed professionals, their leaders, and their families take proactive steps toward resilience and mental wellness. Whether it be policing, firefighting, paramedicine, nursing, corrections, or other trauma-exposed work, this book offers clear, actionable strategies grounded in lived experience and informed by a deep understanding of front line reality.

Unlike clinical texts or personal memoirs, this guide bridges the gap-combining credible insight with immediate advice. From within the broader framework of community safety and well-being, this book speaks to those working in Wellness units, executive leadership roles, and anyone supporting a loved one in these professions. With leadership guidance and honest stories from the front line, this book offers a powerful blend of professional wisdom and personal understanding.

Whether you're leading an organization, managing a team, or simply trying to stay healthy in a demanding job-this book is your field guide to resilience.
