Mission Statement:
Warren County Regional Jail Peer Support Team’s mission is to recognize that all first responders are human beings who are exposed to and experience a wide range of emotions during their tours of duty. WCRJ Peer Support Team members will provide a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment where members can engage in a supportive, encouraging, and meaningful conversation to prevent or lessen the potential negative impacts of our stressors. The WCRJ Peer Support Team also seek to share the concept of peer support and the structure of the program with those that request assistance.
What is Hypervigilance?
The definition of hypervigilance is a state of heightened awareness and watchfulness. You may be hypervigilant if you're constantly on guard and on the lookout for danger, even when there's little to no risk of something bad happening.
Hypervigilance can be a symptom of conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety.
Excessive hypervigilance can have a significantly negative impact on your quality of life. You may experience impaired memory, an inability to regulate emotions, trouble maintaining relationships, and difficulty carrying out day-to-day tasks.
