Abstract

The article focuses on the mental health needs of non-sworn crime scene investigators (CSIs) in Jacksonville, Florida, highlighting their exposure to traumatic material and the resulting vicarious trauma. It discusses the inadequacy of current wellness models and support systems, such as Employee Assistance Programs, which often lack cultural relevance and accessibility. The research emphasizes the importance of including CSIs in wellness policies, training peer supporters, and providing tailored coping strategies to enhance their mental health. The findings suggest that addressing these needs is crucial for workforce sustainability and the integrity of forensic science. [Extracted from the article]
