SESSION INFO

Tuesday, August 30, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Without effective programs providing evidenced based treatment/interventions, it is very difficult to change behavior, achieve therapeutic dosages, and reduce recidivism. Rural and frontier counties have always struggled with attracting and keeping programs and most importantly program staff. This interactive workshop will focus on the success Oregon has had in evaluating, training and maintaining correctional programs in rural settings. Participants will learn simple measures to evaluate their own programs, and steps that can be taken to bring in new programs and maintain them over time.
