Case Planning: The Strongest Link to Positive Outcomes
SESSION INFO
Wednesday, August 30, 2023
9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
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 the professional alliance process will be discussed and demonstrated. This workshop will leave attendees with an action plan to develop a more relevant process resulting in a more positive outcome for those under community supervision.
