Brief Description
This training will prepare attendees to act as peer supporters for their jail.
Full Description
Background: A peer support program is designed to provide support to staff during times of personal and professional distress by pairing individuals with a fellow employee with special training. Successful peer support programs exist in police departments across the country. The Tennessee Corrections Institute (TCI), in collaboration with the Crime and Justice Institute (CJI), is supporting jails in Tennessee that want to bring a peer support program to their staff.  
CJI is a non-profit organization that provides consulting, policy analysis, and research services to improve public safety in communities throughout the country. CJI has partnered with TCI to develop this training for staff who would like to become a peer supporter.
