Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

Analyze the importance of wellness for criminal justice professionals

Scenario

As a resident trainer for the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council, your current homework involves planning, developing, and presenting a curriculum on crisis, trauma, and wellness for criminal justice professionals in New Hampshire. Using a wellness continuum model, participants will learn about situational stressors and risk factors. The presentation will include written materials and participant discussions on developing healthy lifestyles to reduce stress and minimize the potential of developing mental health issues and suicidal tendencies. The primary goal of this training is to engage criminal justice professionals in a conversation about the impact of trauma and critical incidents for law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and probation/parole officers. The secondary goal is to educate the participants on the rising rate of suicide among these groups and local assistance available to them. This course aims to develop a dialogue on the positive aspects of reaching out for professional help as well as developing peer assistance with trauma and everyday stress. The final goal is to encourage criminal justice professionals to enhance their work-life balance so that they can manage their stress in a healthy manner. Your current task for this one-day training session is to develop and distribute a pamphlet containing information and resources for participants in the class to be shared with family, friends, and colleagues. This handy guide will be a reminder that criminal justice professionals are not alone in addressing the stress of the job and that assistance is always available to them.
