Saving Blue Lives through Training on PTSD, Suicide, Resilience, and Peer Support
The Illinois Public Pension Fund Association (IPPFA) and Northern Illinois University (NIU) have teamed up to help active and retired police officers, fire/ems and 9-1-1 operators to expand their knowledge of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This program, “Saving Blue Lives through Training on PTSD, Suicide, Resilience and Peer Support,” is offered at no cost to those attending.
The no-cost NIU – IPPFA seminar includes:
NIU has received a grant from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority to underwrite this program. The seminars are conducted by a qualified mental healthcare professional, along with the assistance of experienced sworn personnel with substantial careers in emergency response.
Because of the need for social distancing during the Covid-19 situation, the program for 2021 will continue to be presented in a virtual format online. Here are the upcoming dates (all trainings are 8a – 4p):

Saving Blue Lives through Training on PTSD, Suicide, Resilience, and Peer Support
The Illinois Public Pension Fund Association (IPPFA) and Northern Illinois University have teamed up to develop a program to assist law enforcement leaders and rank-and-file officers in expanding their knowledge of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, as it effects police officers. This program, “Saving Blue Lives through Training on PTSD, Suicide, Resilience and Peer Support,” is offered at no cost to those attending.
First responders are routinely exposed to critical incidents involving exposure to injury or death in others, as well as the risk of injury or death to themselves. Research shows, and those in the profession intuitively know, that individual incidents and accumulated exposure can adversely affect the mental and physical health of those involved.
The NIU – IPPFA Program will include:
NIU has received a grant from the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for a demonstration project. This allows NIU and the IPPFA to develop and sponsor two, two-day seminars on PTSD awareness and dealing with this condition. The seminars will be conducted by a qualified mental healthcare professional, along with the assistance of experienced sworn personnel with substantial careers in emergency response and investigations. If the initial program is successful, funding may be available for up to a three-year period of outreach on this vital topic. As we proceed, the program will be expanded to include fire/EMS.
Here are the upcoming dates (all trainings are 8a – 4p):
February 8th and 9th
Training will be held via Zoom. We’ve now done four virtual trainings and they have gone very well, We limit the number of attendees to 30 with Zoom, so sign up soon!

The administration of a public pension fund is a very complex task. This two-part educational program is designed to increase a trustee’s basic knowledge of fiduciary responsibility, funding and actuarial concepts, medical and disability issues, the administration of pension benefits, and legal and ethical issues. Illinois statutes hold the pension fund trustee to the standard of a “prudent expert,” yet give little direction on how a trustee can obtain a fundamental understanding of important legal and administrative tasks. To meet these needs, the IPPFA, an Association of Public Pension Funds, began a partnership with Northern Illinois University (NIU) in 1999 to offer the public pension funds the Certified Trustee Program.
On December 18, 2019, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed SB 1300, making it Public Act 101-0610. This act will consolidate all Article 3 and 4 pension fund’s investment assets. Under Public Act 101-0610, training requirements have now been reduced from 32-hours of new trustee training to 16-hours. In addition to this, current pension trustees are also now required to obtain 4-hours of consolidation transition training regarding this new law. This Certified Trustee Program will satisfy those 16-hours of the required new trustee training, however, pension trustees will still need 4-hours of consolidation transition training.
By attending one of our Certified Trustee Programs, you are able to hear from both speakers and professionals who work in the public pension arena on a daily basis. Receive up-to-date information in the areas of legislation, ethics, the economy, and fiduciary responsibilities.
Registration begins at 7:00am on October 19 and 20, 2020.
Space is limited, so be sure to register now (please note that a $25.00 fee will apply, per person, if you need to register over the phone).
