This program focuses on understanding the prevalence of trauma experiences in incarcerated populations, and participants will learn about the significance of using a trauma-informed care approach in carceral settings. Specific implications of trauma-informed care on routine correctional practices and the provision of mental health services to incarcerated adults will be explored. Trauma-informed care principles will also be discussed within the context of the Risk-Need-Responsivity model to understand how trauma experiences relate to criminogenic risk.
This program will also highlight special population groups, focusing on multicultural factors to understand how the intersecting identities of incarcerated adults affect their experience of and recovery from trauma, particularly when in the correctional environment.
Lastly, this program will provide a review of the literature related to trauma-informed care, and participants will learn how they can use their role in the correctional environment to have both macro- (system/institution) and micro-level (client, staff) impacts. This includes understanding the effect of trauma on correctional staff and the importance of self and staff wellness. Correctional mental health providers work in one of the most stressful environments with high rates of burnout and compassion fatigue, so it is important to use trauma-informed care practices to maintain competence and effectiveness.
This program is geared toward mental health and other allied professionals at all levels of training who work in carceral settings or with clients involved in the criminal justice system.
