The correctional environment is inherently stressful. Whether working with inmates or offenders post-release, personnel face the potential for violence, staff shortages and case overload, and exposure to the effects of mental illness and drug abuse. Over the course of a career, these stressors can lead to high rates of depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome and suicidal ideation among correctional officers, as well as physical factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
Lexipol’s Cordico app addresses these challenges, providing corrections personnel with on-demand access to confidential, relevant and effective wellness resources, including:
- Compassion fatigue
- Key nutrition skills and dietary guides
