Description:
Twelve years ago, we received a signal to prepare behavioral health professionals and community health workers, encourage judicial and court awareness, and integrate policy advancements related to a social dynamic and phenomena called Mass Incarceration. Now, we are conceptually focused, principle driven, and supported by emerging research toward best practices related to what we see as Mass Reentry.
This series, based on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Trauma Informed Approaches perspective, will assess research, policy and application related to our understanding of social and emotional trauma. The webinar will examine biopsychosocial health beliefs and social determinants of health models. Part 2 will discuss research about trauma-informed approaches, application, and policy implications as they relate to Returning Adult Citizens reintegrating into society.
