Reducing Recidivism and Promoting Recovery: Understanding and Addressing the Factors that Contribute to Re-arrest

This training will explore the dynamic and static risk factors associated with re-incarceration and the ways that providers can intervene to help clients achieve successful outcomes. The class will begin with an overview of the current evidence-based paradigm for assessing and working with clients to reduce their risk for re-arrest (Risk-Need-Responsivity). Through interactive exercises and didactic lecture, participants will learn to expand their thinking about how to work with justice-involved clients with mental illness in ways that support recovery, mitigate the risk of re-arrest, and reduce stigma.
