Engaging Clients in a Tribal Reentry Program
SESSION INFO
Monday, February 6, 2023
10:15 AM - 11:15 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Reentry is a process, not an event. That process begins with a person’s confinement and involves courts, corrections officials, law enforcement, community members, and a network of service agencies that provide for substance abuse and mental health treatment, job training, housing support, and other needs. In tribal reentry programs, success depends on collaboration between tribal agencies and local, state, and federal partners. Most importantly, tribal reentry programs are grounded in culturally based approaches that incorporate the tribe’s history, values, and strengths. This presentation will focus on strategies for engaging clients in a Tribal Reentry program. This presentation will provide information on the pre-release engagement, beginning the reentry process, conducting screenings, assessments, and the in-take process. This presentation will also provide strategies for planning services and creating community supervision procedures. The goal of this session is to provide information and strategies for Tribal Probation personnel to improve their understanding and skills for engaging with reentry program clients.
