FSU Researchers Expand Trauma Response Services for People Leaving Seminole County Jail

SANFORD, Fla. — The Seminole County Sheriff's Office is expanding its work with Florida State University to study and treat trauma. A new program focuses on people getting out of the county jail.

Beginning in August, 100 inmates at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility will get the chance to participate in a program hosted by FSU that looks to study the impact of trauma on inmates and how learning to cope with that trauma can help them once they're released.
