When the Badge Feels Too Heavy

If you’re a San Diego Police Department (SDPD) officer, you’re no stranger to stress — but maybe lately it feels like more than that.
✅ You’re exhausted all the time, even off duty
✅ You feel emotionally detached from the work
✅ You’ve lost the sense of purpose that used to drive you
✅ You’re more irritable or short-tempered at home and on the job

This isn’t just fatigue — it’s burnout, and ignoring it can jeopardize your health, career, and relationships.

But many officers hesitate to get help because they fear:
✅ Fitness-for-duty reviews
✅ Department papertrails or insurance records
✅ Career consequences or judgment from peers

At Cerevity, we offer private, confidential therapy designed specifically for SDPD officers — with no department involvement and no papertrail.
