FREE Mental Health and Wellness Webinar for Law Enforcement and Their Support System

The Innocent Justice Foundation, in collaboration with OJJDP, will present “Building Resiliency: The Importance of Privacy and Confidentiality in Wellness Programs”

This webinar will present participants with the concept that, due to the stressors and trauma to which they are consistently exposed in their work, they have a responsibility to engage in and/or provide staff with opportunities to engage in a consistent wellness practice. It will describe components of healthy wellness practice that includes skill building and activities that promote resilience, that may include mental health consultation and support, and that addresses trauma impacts experienced in the course of working with child sexual exploitation, that may include mental health treatment or counseling. Participants will receive information about the differences between mental health consultation and programming for wellness, and treatment or counseling, about mental health providers’ responsibility to maintain client confidentiality and to notice clients of any limits on that responsibility, such as reporting child abuse. Participants will be given information about how to address concerns they have about confidentiality or involvement with mental health programming. Information will be provided about the benefits of engaging in wellness practice, from the individual perspective and the supervisory, agency or management perspective. The Webinar will also provide information on a range of different wellness practices that individuals and agencies can employ:

1. Incorporate information so participants will understand the value of wellness practice to promote resilience and address the negative effects of exposure to trauma and stress in their work at the individual level and the agency level.
2. Address concerns SHIFT training participants have raised about mental health involvement with wellness programming
3. Provide information for differing types of wellness practice and programming available to individuals and agencies
