Off Paper: The Criminal Justice Podcast from the FJC focuses on
issues of federal criminal justice and, more specifically, how those
issues affect probation and pretrial services officers and their
clients. When an individual has finished serving any time and
successfully completed release requirements, that person is “off paper.”

Helene Creager (C.D. Cal.), informed by her time as central California’s Critical Incident Stress Management Team, shares not only what officers need to know about the science behind mindfulness, compassion, self-compassion, and positive neuroplasticity, but how to incorporate them into our daily lives as well. Drawing upon her twenty-three years as a U.S. Probation officer, including as a founding member of the National Wellness Working Group, Creager makes the case that intentional self-care is crucial in creating satisfying personal and professional lives.
