Throughout this interactive training, participants will explore various models and protocols currently implemented across different jurisdictions, gaining valuable insights into program structure, implementation strategies, and effectiveness. We will critically examine the promising but limited research on this complex service delivery model. Through case studies and group discussions, participants will evaluate the complex relationships between clinical needs, security requirements, systemic constraints, and ethical dilemmas. Whether participants are currently involved in jail-based restoration or preparing to implement such services, this program will offer valuable insights into current practices and emerging trends.
This program is designed for mental health professionals seeking to delve into the complexities and challenges of providing competency restoration services within jail settings.
