Making Changes—Cognitive Behavioral Interventions in Jails and Community Corrections

Event Dates
Eastern
Location
Online

This webinar will feature presentations from jail and community corrections leaders describing the implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) programs in their organizations.

CBT is a well-researched, evidence-based practice that can be effectively incorporated into treatment and programming plans for people who have been arrested, incarcerated, or on probation/parole.

Jails and community corrections settings provide different challenges to the implementation of CBT programs. For those exploring the implementation of these types of programs, learning from similar agencies who have successfully implemented is valuable.

This webinar will feature presentations from jail and community corrections leaders describing the implementation of CBT programs in their organizations. During this webinar, presenters will:

  • Explain how jails and community corrections agencies use cognitive behavioral interventions to reduce recidivism.
  • Describe how CBIs that address criminal thinking are integrated with cognitive interventions that focus on substance use disorders.
  • Discuss how these agency programs and CBI practices were implemented and are monitored.
  • Answer questions from participants.
