    Burnout and Mental Health Stigma among Juvenile Probation Officers: The Moderating Effect of Participatory Atmosphere
    (Springer, 2019-03) Dir, Allyson L.; Saldana, Lisa; Chapman, Jason E.; Aalsma, Matthew C.; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Despite high rates of mental health problems among juvenile justice-involved youth, mental health stigma among juvenile probation officers (JPOs) is under-studied. This cross-sectional study examined effects of job burnout and workplace participatory atmosphere on mental health stigma among JPOs across Indiana (n = 226). Participatory atmosphere moderated the relationship between JPO burnout-related cynicism and mental health stigma (interaction β = - 0.14, p = .04); burnout was related to greater mental health stigma at low levels of participatory atmosphere. Findings suggest participatory atmosphere mitigates effects of burnout on mental health stigma among JPOs. Organizational-level interventions might help to reduce mental health stigma and combat negative effects from burnout among JPOs.
