Public defenders are exposed to direct and secondary trauma. Mental health support and self-care is critical for high-quality representation and staff longevity.

Our Executive Director, Matt Barraza, had the privilege of hosting Judges and attorneys from North Africa and the Middle East today. They discussed the importance of Utah's public defenders and how the IDC works to support them in their efforts to protect their client's rights.

Thank you @derekkitchen, this will help so many!
So proud that I passed this bill! The cost of a phone call from state prison for 15-min call is ~$2.85 Some county jails charge as much as $15(!) for a 15-min call. This is a financial hardship for inmates who don't have a means of making money 1/

@SEATTV @joannaelandau @gopTODD @KamaluLorene @ShawnMilne Only a slight correction—the Iron county commissioner is talking about Utah’s Aggravated Murder fund which counties pay into. We (the IDC) use only state and federal funds to help counties! Fantastic story and editing @SEATTV !! Thanks @KamaluLorene @gopTODD @ShawnMilne
