Justice agencies have faced grueling personal and organizational stress in the 2020s. We have “survived” several once-in-a-generation events in a seemingly relentless sequence of stressors. We are still adapting to a global pandemic, the Great Resignation, a pervasive opiate crisis, a shift to virtual and hybrid work, extraordinary justice reform, a national social justice movement, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, and more dangerous crime and supervision trends in our work. All of this, on top of the usual legislative, policy and practice changes that seem small in comparison.
Although we have been called to action on well-being to cope with the impacts of such large-scale change, we often wonder how we get beyond the usual lip service of “work/life balance” into a lasting cultural transformation.
This 2-part presentation will offer a provocative, emotional, and intellectually compelling vision and call-to-action for a well-being culture and mindset.
