The Link from Incarceration to Home: Is You
SESSION INFO
Monday, January 27, 2025
9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Generally, when community supervision professionals discuss successful re-entry, the focus is typically client centered. What resources do the formerly incarcerated need; what action steps does he/she need to take to ensure successful re-entry? But have you considered, as a supervising officer, what you need to know and actions you need to take to aid in the re-entry process? This presentation will focus on how supervising officers can better prepare to assist formerly incarcerated individuals as they transition back into their communities – helping them overcome seen and unforeseen barriers.
This presentation will expand your case management toolbox by helping you understand hurdles faced by those under your supervision. Focus will be placed on understanding the following adjustment disorder elements:
Family – fitting within the family structure
Institutional Mentality – living without restrictions
Employment – securing and maintaining adequate employment
Mental Health – recognizing and assisting the suicidal individual
Substance Abuse – avoiding relapse
