Tuesday, October 21, 2025

Location: Mile High Ballroom 2A/3A, Colorado Convention Center

In January 2023, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office launched a new mental wellness initiative requiring all sworn personnel to attend an annual appointment with a mental health professional. The Annual Wellness Briefing Program was established as a proactive, educational resource designed to provide agency employees with information on emotional health, a private setting to discuss their overall mental wellness, and personalized strategies to enhance emotional well-being. This presentation will offer an overview of the program’s foundational framework, development, and anticipated outcomes, giving attendees a glimpse into its impact after two years of implementation.
