Forged: Stress, Ethics, and Resilience for Correctional Officers   

Presented by Training Force USA in partnership with Daytona State College

COURSE

Correctional officers face one of the most demanding and under-supported roles in public safety. Daily exposure to danger, trauma, inmate manipulation, and cumulative stress takes a measurable toll on officer health, performance, family stability, and career longevity, and most agencies never formally address it. Forged is a four-hour live online training that gives correctional professionals a direct, practical framework for surviving the job and leading others through it, without filler and without theory for its own sake.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED INCLUDE

• Recognition of Stress, Trauma, and PTSD Indicators Specific to Corrections
• Correctional Officer Suicide Risk Factors and Prevention Strategies
• De-Escalation Communication Skills (Knowing When to Talk and When to Listen)
• Ethical Challenges, Boundary Issues, and Inmate Manipulation Tactics
• Stress-Management Strategies for Resilience and Career Longevity
• Lessons Learned from Real-World Correctional Safety Incidents
