Presenter
Phil Galli -
Director - Justice Support Services, St. Croix County (WI)
Shawn Trusten -
Planning Specialist - Community Corrections, Ramsey County (MN)
Description
Social support can help insulate individuals from negative life events such as crime involvement and other poor outcomes. While support is unlikely to eliminate negative outcomes, such as crime, it can help to buffer against these events. The Core Four is a model which considers the four types of social support (instrumental, expressive, received, perceived) and how discussions surrounding their implementation can be built into case management and planning. Topics discussed will include a history of social support in working with justice-impacted persons, the use of surveying to identify areas of need, and case planning. Policy implications include recommendations for programming in each of these four areas.

Presenter:
Melody Smith -
Supervisor – Cook County Adult Probation
Description:A Global Conversation on Lived Experience, Professionalism, and System Change. The American Probation and Parole Association, in collaboration with Grow Transform Belong CIC, is proud to present Justice 2.0: Harnessing Experience to Transform Probation—an exciting webinar that unites voices from the UK and USA to explore the evolving landscape of probation.
Probation is at a critical juncture. With increasing recognition of the need for system change, this conversation brings together individuals with lived experience of probation alongside practitioners who have dedicated their careers to transforming justice systems. Together, they will explore the intersection of lived expertise and professional practice, shaping the future of rehabilitative approaches.
Justice 2.0 is not just a conversation—it is a movement towards a probation system that prioritizes growth, identity transformation, and community reintegration. This is a unique opportunity to connect with global leaders in probation reform, share ideas, and be part of shaping the future of justice.
Please note: unfortunately, this webinar does not offer credits for continuing education purposes.
