This training will help learners meet the benchmark for professionals collaborating with the justice-involved population. This training will address key topics and provide an understanding for delivering consistent, trauma-informed care services for the incarcerated and reentry population with substance use disorders.
During this interactive training designed for clinicians, attorneys, judges, and probation and parole officers, participants will be provided with an overview of the history, definition, and impact of substance use disorder(SUD); its prevalence in the justice-involved population; and the difficulty justice-involved individuals, JII, encounter when released from incarceration. Included in the training is data regarding JII and the factors that contribute to SUD, including the neurobiology of addiction, adverse childhood experiences, and how trauma-informed care can decrease recidivism and improve job performance.
