Anti-Burnout for Corrections Professionals
IACTP is hosting a 3-part webinar series this year to support the physical and mental health of correctional professionals. YOU are important. You can’t support your family, can’t be a good professional colleague, can’t be a strong member of your community if you aren’t focused on self-care and your well-being. Join us as we explore beneficial tips and solutions. To alleviate on potential barrier, this series is FREE. You just need to commit the time to participate. Since this is a 3-part series, it is recommended you attend all three; however, it is not mandatory.

DESCRIPTION
Anti-Burnout for Corrections Professionals
According to research, correctional professionals are amongst the highest at-risk professions in heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, suicide, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, with a 300% higher likelihood of abusing alcohol, with a life expectancy 15 years less than the general public, and a national average of divorce of almost 80% in some studies, which doesn’t reflect the level of unhappiness and health in the remaining officers who are not a part of those statistics. The more important question the suicide rates, PTSD, heart disease, lowered life expectancy rates all propose is how many unhappy correctional professionals are there, and what can be done about this? It’s predictable, so it must be preventable. In this presentation, we’ll discuss solutions.
