Join us for this FREE training: An Introduction to Correctional Mental Health 

June 11, 2024 | 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM Pacific

1.5 Hours | 1.5 CEs | Free Live Training via Zoom

The U.S. incarcerates far more people than any other country in the world. The incarcerated population is overrepresented by people of color, LGBTQ persons, and people with extensive mental health, substance use, and trauma-related needs. In addition, criminogenic needs must be addressed to reduce reoffending risk.

The US correctional system provides opportunities for mental health professionals to contribute their science as clinicians, researchers, and policy advocates. Adequate mental health interventions are essential to prevent suicide and violence, mitigate stress, and overall increase the chances of rehabilitation and recovery. 

This session would be appropriate for individuals wanting to work with incarcerated clients in jails or prisons, including students, early career, or professionals who want more background in correctional mental health.
