Thriving Is Deliberate.

 Marc spent a total of 33 years of overlapping military and law enforcement service. This included postings as an operator, supervisor and commander during his police career and as both an enlisted soldier and commissioned officer in the military.  He applied his graduate and post-graduate work in organizational management to public safety and community behavioral health and became a recognized pioneer in Maryland.  He then plunged head-first onto the national and international public safety wellness circuit as a presenter and consultant upon retirement from sworn service in 2022.  

Over the next few years, Marc realized he had started to "out run his headlights" and was lacking balance.  So, in the spring of 2025, he made the decision to practice what he had been preaching for so many years. He stepped out of the spotlight and the industry grind, embraced the concept of simplicity, and took an honest personal inventory.  What revealed itself was eye-opening.  Marc's revelation was not a rediscovery of himself but the harsh truth that he really never knew who he was in the first place.  Embracing this reality was the first step in identifying true priorities and adopting a daily mantra of purpose, ownership, and accountability he calls "mE2We".   This program has become Marc's primary work product and is delivered selectively to interested clients.  

mE2We ™  is Marc's original trademark pending concept born from a need to help law enforcement and corrections professionals embrace better community behavioral health programming, response and services. The community outreach version of the training bridges the "us versus them" chasm which often exists between the public and the police.  It emphasizes the fact that mental illness does not discriminate, that first responders suffer a disproportional amount of their own behavioral health and substance abuse challenges, and that public servants need to be comfortable with their own "me" before they can help the collective "we".  This version of the program continues to be delivered as part of public safety Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) in Maryland.  Its success has led to creation of the mE2We ™  wellness and peer support suite highlighted in the next section.  

 The concepts are anchored in training approaches already familiar to the safety and service disciplines and applicable across the operational spectrum. In fact, the process is specifically designed to withstand the rigors of first responder and first line service provider operations. 

The foundational mE2We™ program consists of four modules which can be delivered independently or “mixed and matched”. The courses are intended to be adaptable and can be tailored to support full curriculum trainings, conference style presentations, or roll call delivered learning. This includes expanding and/or combining content to create customized in-person or on-line sessions. Marc Junkerman, LLC.™ also welcomes the opportunity to co-facilitate with other presenters who have specific experience or topical knowledge which enhances the training’s impact. The four standardized modules are:

1.  mE2We™: A practical approach to building wellness. This four (4) hour offering is designed to serve as an overview of the mE2We™approach and its strategic orientation toward achieving results (S.O.A.R). It starts with a discussion of the program’s origins and applicability then turns towards providing a snapshot of the original driving concepts which include the Perception Prism©, the ARM© decision-making algorithm, and the TAKE5√© action plan. Additionally, it introduces the P.E.E.R.© and the Y-EAT© strategic planning tools. It targets any stakeholder from operator to executive interested in learning about the mE2We™ process. 

2. mE2We™: Choosing individual wellness. You can’t help anyone until you help yourself. The establishment of individual purpose, ownership, and accountability is a cornerstone of the mE2We™ approach. This four (4) hour training provides insight into the choices we make, offers a customizable template for healthier decision-making, and provides simple tools for success. Those discussions include application of the TAKE5√© action plan in addition to an introduction of the Wellness Pyramid and Life Carousel models. It is applicable to anyone interested in creating a practical, self-designed approach to his or her own wellness. 

3. mE2We™: Implementing P.E.E.R.© support. This eight (8) hour class serves as a primer for the implementation and sustainment of wellness education, peer support, and critical incident response. It is a “model for choosing models” designed to help organizations apply a practical wellness framework into which it can integrates components of its choosing. Key learning points include fostering an understanding of the P.E.E.R© approach, integrating wellness into the overall mission, team structure and roles, as well as a critical look at cultural competency issues. Additionally, it will provide overviews of some common evidence-based models and best-practice approaches currently in use. In short, it encourages organizations to better answer their “what, how, and when” by first recognizing their own cultural “who and why”. It targets peer team members, stakeholders, third-party providers, and leaders tasked with delivering and sustaining peer support and wellness teams. It is most effective as either an introductory primer for newer endeavors or as a refresher for established entities.

S.O.A.Ring with mE2We™: Considerations for organizational wellness planning. Good intentions are not good enough. Successful organizational wellness requires a deliberate choice to “win by design” in order to move from awareness to tangible, measurable action. This four (4) hour mE2We™ module offers a framework to help ensure the organizational answers you generate are a result of asking the right questions. Topics include an exploration of the political, ethical, economic, and legal cost-benefits (PEEL-Q) of wellness programming, ideas on making wellness a mission essential task, the Y-EAT© strategic planning process, and strategies for engaging outside stakeholders.
