dc.description.abstractDisciplined forces such as the military and police are frequently exposed to severe experiences of trauma which often leads to psychological effects that take effect in and outside their workplaces. Due to the nature of their work, stress and trauma can have a significant effect on an officer's health and wellbeing as there are times they are even exposed to situations that challenge their morals and hence the significance of pastoral care and chaplaincy in military and policing. This study investigates the different traumas experienced by officers, their types as well as effects and the role of pastoral care in their wellbeing and dealing with trauma. The research focuses on Botswana Defence Force and Botswana Police Service personnel.en_US
