The Washington State Department of Corrections (WADOC) received a $250,000 Project Grant award on October 1, 2023 from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (CFDA 16.738). This grant will fund a 3-year pilot project to study the effectiveness of evidence-based breathwork techniques in improving the mental health, emotional regulation, and overall wellness of correctional officers. The project will train 300 WADOC staff, including community corrections and custody officers, on breathwork practices. WADOC will also identify 30-40 staff to become certified breathwork trainers to help scale the program within the state's correctional system. The goal is to develop a replicable model for using breathwork to enhance the resilience and crisis intervention capabilities of officers managing populations with mental health or substance abuse issues.
