On Monday, February 26, 2024, we had a presentation on care for correctional care workers. Dr. Rose Ricciardelli, a professor and researcher from Canada, did a study on the health of correctional officers, and the findings are pretty stunning.  She also then talks about how facilities in Canada are trying to set up safeguards to help prevent burnout, stress, and psychological issues that arise.  

It a short one and a half hour presentation that will provide you with credit hours and also management hours. I have attached a verification form you can use if you would like to watch it.

Many of the results are things you probably see all the time.  In Canada, they are fighting many of the same battles, and they are using some interesting strategies to try to overcome them. 

I hope you find this helpful. Rose is a wealth of information, and we were lucky to have her.
