The American Correctional Association (ACA), under a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, would like to visit your staff wellness program. Our goal is to study and learn more about the exemplary practices on staff wellness programs in correctional agencies who has developed and offered to wellness programs to their staff. The team interviewed appropriate agency staff of the agency's preference, such as human resource administrators, wellness providers, wellness program administrators, and other related staff. In this visit, we learned more about staff wellness programming design, implementation practices, available resources, and gaps identified. Staff Wellness program administrators and service providers will be asked about their perception of staff wellness programs, the common staff wellness resources they have in their agency, their unique and exemplary practices in staff wellness, program efficiency, effectiveness, and tools and resources available on online platforms. The visit took approximately 18 hours over the course of three days. ACA asked to identify and make available some select front-line staff from any discipline who have participated in the agency's wellness program in one way or another. These individuals were interviewed to explore their perceptions to help collect exemplary staff wellness practices, gather information, and create opportunities to learn good staff wellness practices in corrections. The staff interview gave more information on the current picture of staff wellness programs in corrections and identify potential opportunities to improve programs while bridging any identifiable gaps.
