RE:West Virginia Needs Help
I can imagine how difficult these recent events have been for staff. In many institutions where staff misconduct has occurred, mixed emotions arise.  Often, people play back events and wonder if they should have seen it coming.... And while there is condemnation of the actions of staff involved, it is also typical for co-workers to expereince some degree of empathy, with out condoning the behavior.
The PREA webinar on Wednesday will introduce some basics, but there are many resources beyond the webinar that may be helpful. The NIC offers an online training that the staff can take for starters.  Then there are more specific tools for prevention of staff misconduct. Hang in there...and after the webinar we will look at some options.

Sincerely,

Niki
