Cultural Diversity
August 13th 9:00 a.m. - Noon Zoom Workshop
Sponsor Spotlight by R.A.I.N. of North America
Like the community population, the previously incarcerated population is a ‘melting pot’ of different ethnic groups and minorities. It is important that the corrections staff respect this diversity and conduct themselves professionally. Bigotry and racial stereotyping have no place in corrections. This class will discuss cultural diversity among of justice involved people, how staff can have a good relationship with these individuals, avoid bigotry, and earn respect. Reducing racial tension, avoiding racial profiling and de-escalating tensions will be discussed.

Applying the Biopsychosocial Model in Criminal Justice Settings
September 10th 9:00 a.m. - Noon Zoom Workshop
Sponsor Spotlight by Al-Maa'uun
The biopsychosocial model is an emerging multifaceted approach and framework with clear benefits for justice-involved individuals. This holistic framework considers the biological, psychological, and social elements that affect health, well-being, and behavioral health problems. As such, the biopsychosocial model is particularly well suited to help address the diverse array of physical and mental health problems, prenatal/postnatal trauma, cognitive impairments, unhealthy lifestyle practices, and histories of health disparities commonly experienced by justice-involved individuals. Designed for professionals working in criminal justice settings, this training provides an overview of the biopsychosocial model and encourages its application in interactions with justice-involved clients.
