This Summit is just the beginning of the journey to a healthier staff. A career in corrections is stressful because no one knows what the next 24 hours will bring. This year’s Summit focuses on the mental health of staff, and how we can all work together to help address the very real challenges that corrections officers face every day, on and off the job. This is a very important issue, since stress and trauma come in many different forms, and no two people will react the same way. Summit attendees will learn how the brain and body work and react while faced with a critical incident, how to mitigate the damage caused by trauma, and how we can prepare the corrections community before an event.
