Description:
One of the 5 factors identified in the happiest people is a connection to their purpose. Purpose can be as simple as a statement about “why we get out of bed” each day or as complex as why we work and what we hope to achieve at work. We’ll explore your values, gifts and how they can help us more clearly define our “why." Putting purpose and hope into action each day can sustain you through the hard times at work and you'll leave the session recharged and reconnected to those you serve.

Description:
Community supervision today isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about working with people who have real challenges, complex needs, and high expectations placed on them. The Certified Community Supervision Professional (CCSP) is a national certification curated by APPA to support officers doing this work every day.

CCSP is a 25-hour, self-paced online certification focused on the skills officers actually use in the field. The program is practical, not theoretical, and centers on how supervision professionals build relationships, guide behavior change, and make sound decisions with the people they supervise.

The certification is built around five core skill areas:
1 - Building a supportive alliance with clients
2 - Using motivational mentoring to encourage change
3 - Setting and working toward realistic goals
4 - Supporting skill development and accountability
5 - Applying reflective practice and trauma-informed approaches

Participants have 90 days to complete the program, must demonstrate 80% mastery, and earn a certificate, digital badge, and APPA contact hours upon completion.

This webinar will provide a clear overview of what CCSP is, who it’s designed for, and how it can help officers strengthen their supervision practice and feel more confident in their day-to-day work.
