Building Recovery Capital with Probation Populations
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, February 28, 2024
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
What elements are important to bring about long-term recovery for individuals with substance use disorders and/or mental health needs? Over the past two decades, research has found that individuals with strong concentrations of personal, social and community capital are more likely to sustain long-term recovery. But what exactly does this mean, and how to we operationalize this in the criminal justice and probation system? This session will introduce participants to the concepts, definitions and practices of recovery capital.
