Serving the County — While Protecting Your Own Health

If you’re a deputy with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, you face:
✅ High-stakes calls and violent arrests
✅ Constant exposure to trauma and human suffering
✅ Long, irregular shifts and unpredictable court demands
✅ Intense pressure to stay sharp, strong, and composed

But over time, you may start to feel:

  • Irritable, angry, or emotionally drained

  • Disconnected from family or friends

  • Trouble sleeping or relaxing

  • Wondering if you can keep pushing at this pace

You’re not alone — and you can get help privately, without risking your badge or career.

Why Alameda County Deputies Often Avoid Seeking Help

✅ Fear of triggering fitness-for-duty evaluations
✅ Concern that using insurance creates a papertrail
✅ Worry about judgment or gossip within the department
✅ Lack of access to therapists who truly understand deputy life
