Correctional Compassion Fatigue Is Real
Compassion fatigue is what happens when the emotional cost of caring starts to outweigh your ability to cope. Caring for students and residents is imperative, but so is taking care of yourself.
Mental Health in the Margins
Mental health in corrections can’t be an afterthought. It can’t live in the margins. When we invest in mental wellness—for students and staff—we’re not just making people feel better. We’re creating safer environments. We’re improving outcomes. We’re building communities that don’t have to keep coming back through the revolving door.
