Mental Health Resources

While the individuals on this team are not mental health professionals or counselors, they are trained to work with individuals who have experienced a traumatizing event at work. This could be a staff assault, incarcerated individual death, staff death, or any other major/minor event that could have a traumatizing effect on staff.

CISM: Critical Incident Stress Management

Critical Incident Stress Management is a comprehensive, organized approach for the reduction and control of harmful stress.

The FCF2F program focuses on validating the difficulties of the job and normalizing the response to such stressors and the environment. While normalizing the “fatigue,” this program lets staff know they are not alone in their experiences and encourages participants to see the good in the work they do. Reach out to your site’s training coordinator to enroll.

Eight Dimensions of Wellness

8 dimensions of wellness: Emotional, Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, Environmental, Financial, Occupational, and Social

When we think of wellness typically, physical health is the first to come to mind. But there are eight Dimensions of Wellness that help make up our overall health: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, occupational, financial, and environmental. The dimensions are interconnected and build on one another. For example, when we worry about money (financial), we sometimes experience anxiety (emotional). This can lead to medical problems (physical), and trouble at work (occupational). It is important that we are aware of each dimension of wellness and focus intentionally on how we can improve or maintain each dimension.
