Linking Case Planning and Professional Alliance for a More Positive Outcome
SESSION INFO
Sunday, June 30, 2024
2:45 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Research has shown that correctional professionals play a key role as agents of change as they create a professional alliance with those under community supervision. Positive working relationships generate buy-in and motivate people to explore necessary changes to lead a law-abiding life. Yet, the case planning process in many agencies focuses more on supervision conditions and less on the factors that help people succeed, such as working on activities associated with their assessed needs. Complicated and cumbersome case planning processes and case plans create unnecessary barriers and can contribute to disappointing risk reduction and behavior change results. This workshop will focus on the research on case planning and professional alliance, present a simplified case planning process, and include several examples of case plans working in agencies throughout the country. In addition, the components of a good case plan and professional alliance process will be discussed and demonstrated. The process of using artificial intelligence (AI) will be discussed. The workshop will leave attendees with the challenge to develop a more relevant process resulting in a more positive outcome for those under supervision.
