IACFP

Great week for @IA4CFP in Oslo, Norway—advancing our 5-year plan, visiting Ila Prison, & learning from global leaders in correctional mental health. Inspired for the year ahead!

This week @DrGoldenson and Dr. Kukor presented on Trauma-Informed Supervision (Goldenson et al., 2025) at UNM’s Law & Mental Health Webinar Series. Forensic psychologists are often exposed to potentially traumatic experiences. Thus, TI-supervision is just as important as TI-care.

DID YOU KNOW? The Irish Prison Service is taking staff wellness into their own hands. Dr. Sarah Hume and colleages researched burnout intervention effectiveness. They are now implementing changes at the personal and organizational levels. Read more in our upcoming bulletin!

The IACFP Board, led by President Emma Regan, had a packed agenda at their meeting yesterday! They heard positive reports about IACFP finances, the 2024 audit review, CJB, and current projects. And, they took action steps to advance the voice of psychology in corrections!

Drs. @j_enolouden and Abigail Tucker presented on ethical considerations in forensic and correctional research at the APA 2025 Conference in Denver, CO last month. Did you miss it? Take a look at their presentation on the conference program site! xcdsystem.com/apa/program/Fb…
