Our Services

PCSO Wellness
Wellness is a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving one's full potential. It encompasses lifestyle, mental, spiritual well-being and environment. Wellness is a positive, affirming and contributes to living a long and healthy life.
* The mission of the PCSO Wellness Program is to support employees and their families by promoting overall well-being. Public Safety careers demand a 24/7 commitment to the community. This constant dedication can significantly impact employees' self-care and family life. The Wellness Program addresses these challenges by providing wellness education and resources through activities, Peer Support Team, Chaplains and the Wellness Coordinator. We offer a comprehensive network of resources to assist employees and their families.

Peer Support Team
Pennington County Peer Support Team provides a safe space for staff to share their experiences with trained peers who have their own experiences.
Peer Support can provide you with:
* Coping skills to help improve stress and reduce feeling of being overwhelmed
* Provide resources to better manage those things that overwhelm us (Physical, Emo9tional, Spiritual, Environmental and Financial)
* Explore the employees strengths
* Create strategies for relationship building with peers and family
* Peer Support is comprised of fellow employees and spouses and work in all divisions of the PCSO

Chaplains
WHAT IS A CHAPLAIN??
A Chaplain is, traditionally, a lay representative of a religious tradition, attached to a secular institution (such as law enforcement, military, school, etc.)
Their Purpose: The Pennington County Sheriff's Office Chaplain's Program is to serve and assist the Sheriff in helping to meet the spiritual needs of the Pennington County Sheriff's Office personnel, families, and the community. The Sheriff's Office Chaplain Program can offer spiritual guidance and assistance and also serves as a link in the communication between personnel in crisis and their own spiritual advisors. The Sheriff's Office Chaplains are a resource available to the entire Sheriff's Office and their families.
The Pennington County Wellness team has been instrumental in helping our community maintain a balance of mental and physical health. Their resources and programs are invaluable.
