Virtual Conference on Saving Lives and Avoiding Adverse Events Starts February 25

Every day, professionals across jails and detention facilities shoulder the profound responsibility of protecting the lives in their care. The 2026 NCCHC/AJA Virtual Conference brings together medical, mental health, and custody leaders for two days of virtual practical, actionable training on the topics that matter most: reducing mortality, preventing harm, strengthening staff readiness, and building safer environments for all. The online conference starts February 25 with online access available through March 31.

Designed for frontline staff, supervisors, administrators, and clinicians, this focused virtual program delivers national expertise, real-world strategies, and collaborative solutions—right to your screen. Focus on practices that save lives:

  • Wellness and resilience—because safer outcomes depend on healthy staff
  • A workforce trained to recognize and respond to danger early
  • Leadership that sets expectations, reinforces accountability, and builds a culture of safety
  • Systems that support coordinated action between medical, mental health, and custody teams
  • Tools and technology that help staff intervene faster and more effectively
  • Data and oversight that guide continuous improvement and reduce liability

Earn up to 14 hours of CE for medical, nursing, and mental health on your schedule, from your home or office.
