Description: In October of 2019, NIC conducted a survey of the field to determine what agencies were most concerned about and what their priorities were. One of the categories that received a high ranking was &#8220;staff recruitment, development, coaching, retention and health and wellness.&#8221; This project, Responding to Staff Trauma and Organizational Stress in Community Supervision Agencies, is an important step in determining what current resources and information is available and what strategies agencies are using to address these concerns. Across the country, community corrections agencies have begun to develop initiatives on staff trauma and organizational stress. Specifically, where are innovative and promising practices occurring and can they be replicated in other jurisdictions? Future work on this project may include development of training and resources for executives and staff.
