SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Not All Therapies Are Created Equal: What Courts Need to Know When Ordering "Therapy" for Families
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCourts regularly order therapy for multiple reasons.  The courts are\, unfortunately\, at the mercy of what is available in their area.  This webinar is designed to go “behind the curtain” to show court officials what really happens in therapy. \nDid you know that up to 80% of what happens in therapy is not based on science\, despite the science has existed for decades?  Did you also know that a therapist whose sole training in graduate school was with adults with drug problems can (and in many sites does) work with a 5-year-old with Autism despite having no training in that area (and still gets paid for that therapy)?  Do you want to know the one question to ask a child therapist to make sure they are using evidence-based\, effective therapy for that child? \nThese “in the pocket” tips will be the focus of this webinar. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Five Reasons Your Staff Wellness Program is Going to Fail
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n“Staff Wellness” is the new trendy talking point in the correctional world. Jail Administrators and Executives from all over the country are assembling leadership teams and think tanks\, organizing Zoom calls\, and attending retreats and training sessions\, all in an attempt to address the wellness of their staff. \nThe problem is that addressing the wellness of staff is not an easy task to tackle as the correctional culture does not allow for such things to flourish. But we’re at a breaking point. We’ve reached critical mass. We can no longer afford to ignore the effects that the correctional environment has on those who are exposed to it. Our traditional ways of doing business are neither productive nor sustainable. We must adapt if we want to adopt an approach that adequately and appropriately addresses the needs of our staff. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll discuss five potential challenges to starting and sustaining a successful Staff Wellness program and how an agency can navigate those challenges to create an emotionally supportive and psychologically safe environment for staff. \nLearning Objectives\n\nGain a better understanding of what staff may be experiencing and why listening to their perspective is important to the success of a wellness program.\nLearn the importance of placing the right people in the right positions and what that process looks like in their agency.\nBe able to describe ways that their agency can ensure that there is consistency and follow-through related to their wellness program.\nIdentify personal beliefs and internal obstacles that may hinder their want to establish a wellness program.\nLearn about the “culture of toughness” in corrections and how the overtone of their facility could prevent the implementation of a successful wellness program.\n\nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Practical Mindfulness for Criminal Justice Professionals

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Witness Preparation: It's Not Just About the Facts
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nMany people are not happy about being called as a witness\, for a variety of reasons. For some people\, it is an inconvenience\, or they’re weary of constantly changing court dates. For others\, testifying will require them to relive something that was upsetting or traumatic. Witness preparation is the attorney’s opportunity to identify the source of apprehension or reluctance about testifying and address it so that both the witness and the attorney are prepared to present the strongest case possible. \nIn this webinar\, we will talk about preparing witnesses to testify in a hearing or trial\, both generally and in cases that involve difficult or emotional topics\, like domestic violence or animal cruelty\, and that require additional sensitivity to the witness’ experience. We will also discuss how to identify potential challenges with a witness and what steps you may need to take to ensure a clear record. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Understanding Law Enforcement Culture: A Deep Dive Into Why We Act the Way We Do & How to Work Collaboratively Together
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nLaw enforcement personnel bring unique personality characteristics to the profession\, but they also develop a distinct “police culture” over their careers. From their first day in the academy\, officers are trained to keep themselves and the public safe\, and to maintain “command presence.” This training significantly influences their interactions with the public. In modern policing\, officers are expected to juggle numerous roles\, often without adequate training to manage the physical and mental challenges of a shift. \nThis webinar will not only delve into the unique characteristics of the law enforcement personality but also provide practical strategies to foster collaborative work\, resulting in improved interactions and community relations. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Adults and Childhood Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nAdults who experienced trauma in their childhood live with the physical\, emotional and behavioral consequences of that trauma throughout life. In some cases\, these adults do not recognize that they were exposed to trauma in their childhood.

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Achieving Success with Performance Improvement Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCriminal justice organizations have many metrics of success by which to measure their performance such as clearance rates\, successful termination\, recidivism rates\, services provided\, and clients served. While there has been a significant push for criminal justice agencies to become more evidence-based\, data-driven\, and focused on goal attainment and outcome performance\, many leaders struggle with guiding their organizations through these efforts. \nPerformance Improvement Leadership refers to the strategic efforts undertaken by leaders to enhance the overall performance and effectiveness of individuals\, teams\, and organizations. It involves the identification of areas for improvement\, the establishment of clear performance expectations\, and the implementation of targeted initiatives to drive positive change. \nJoin Ashley Bauman\, M.BA.\, M.S.\, B.C.C. as she guides us through the Performance Improvement model and discusses key steps that criminal justice leaders can take to move their agencies to more successful outcomes. Participants will leave the webinar with three key action steps to begin the performance improvement process in their organizations. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse
