Middlesex Sheriff Koutoujian, National Sheriffs’ Association Gather National Experts to Discuss Correction Officer Wellness WHAT: Middlesex Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian and the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) are bringing together experts from across the country Monday, October 29, in Lowell, Mass. to begin a national dialogue on the causes and effects of workplace stress for corrections officers. Available research shows the average correction officer will not live to see their 59th birthday, that he - or she - is vastly more likely to take their own life, and a large percentage will experience some level of Post Traumatic Stress. While several small studies have been done to look at the role of job-related stress in the lives of corrections professionals, there has been no national research in more than a decade.

Jerry Cooper - LA Sheriff’s Department Dr. Caterina Spinaris - Desert Waters Correctional Outreach Dr. George Everly - Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Viki Sharp - NYC Department of Corrections Dr. Jaime Brower - Nicoletti-Flater Associates Dr. Barry Feldman - UMass Medical School Al Grudzinskas, JD - UMass Medical School Dr. Eric Lambert - Wayne State University 300 Professionals from the corrections field WHEN: Monday, October 29 @ 9 a.m. conference begins Open Press begins @ 2 p.m. for panel discussion and media availability WHERE: UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center 50 Warren St. Lowell, Mass. |
