<p>Correctional Officers’ (COs) occupational functions are to maintain security and internal discipline in jails and prisons, and facilitate the social reintegration of inmates. This position involves high trauma exposure (e.g., violence between inmates, attempted/completed suicides, potential assaults on personnel) due to direct contact with inmates. Such exposure, and other job-related stressors, increase COs’ risk for psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, substance use, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This paper presents the results from the National Wellness Survey for Public Safety Personnel specific to COs (<i>N</i> = 190). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Findings indicated high levels of both occupational and individual stressors. Approximately one-third of COs reported symptoms of anxiety (39.3%), depression (36.3%), and PTSD (28%) at rates well beyond those of civilian counterparts. Consistent with previous research, most COs endorsed being negatively impacted by their job; yet they were reluctant to seek professional assistance. Clinical implications include the need for increased mental health awareness, confidential and accessible psychological services, early intervention programs, and peer support initiatives to foster a culture of openness and help-seeking. Future research should examine the effects of specific occupational stressors (e.g., shift schedules, inmate-to-staff ratios), assess the effectiveness of interventions, explore the experiences of minority COs, and use larger, more representative samples to improve generalizability and understanding of CO mental health.</p>
