Working with participants in the justice system: addressing risk and needs
with Chelsea Troutman, BCBA.
Working with participants who have contact with the justice system can be complex and challenging work for behaviour support practitioners and allied health professionals.
Whether you’re new to this area or looking to build confidence, this webinar will provide practical structure about a risk-aware, rights-based and needs oriented approach you can apply immediately in your work.
In this one-hour webinar, Chelsea will share practical, evidence-based strategies to address both risk factors and support needs for participants involved with — or at risk of involvement with — the justice system.
The session will explore the intersection of positive behaviour support, restrictive practices, and justice involvement. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of criminogenic risks, how unmet needs can increase justice contact, and how to strengthen supports to reduce risk while safeguarding the rights of both the individual and the community.
