Monday, april 27 - 10:45-12:00 p.M. Correctional Compassion Fatigue & Self-Care Correctional Compassion Fatigue, a gradual lessening of compassion over time, is common among correctional professionals that work with trauma victims. Sufferers can experience hopelessness, a decrease in experiences of pleasure, constant stress and anxiety, sleeplessness or nightmares, and a pervasive negative attitude. In this session we will explore correctional compassion fatigue and identify examples of self-care to help manage the issues that trigger one to act in a negative manner. From Addiction to Advocate

In this session, two certified recovery support specilists will share their stories of recovery and describe how their roles have benefited family drug court clients.

Marijuana Harmless? Think Again

Marijuana Harmless? Think Again! is a movement with the goal of providing education on the true harms of marijuana use. The presentation will present scientific evidence from NIDA, SAMHSA, and other valid sources on what marijuana does to the human brain, marijuana addiction, and other long term effects. The presentation will discuss what is happening in Colorado with legalization as well as the current Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. The presentation will also discuss the components of the Marijuana Harmless? Think Again! movement and the many groups working together in Arizona.

The DSM-5 in Problem Solving Courts

This session will review the DSM-5 and the ICD, focusing on the fundamental changes in how clinicians diagnose court participants’ behavioral health issues in order to enhance understanding and to fully inform treatment planning. We will review the purposes of diagnosis, major changes to the DSM and ICD, and the relevance of the changes for your court practices.

Effective Veterans Court Mentors

Many veterans, upon leaving military service, have difficulty reintegrating into the civilian community. Some find themselves involved in the criminal justice system, ill-prepared to navigate the complex requirements of addressing their criminal behavior. Veterans Court mentors have proven themselves an invaluable asset to both the veteran and the court. These volunteers work with justice involved veterans to assist them with obtaining services and complying with court-ordered treatment. This session will discuss how to recruit, train and retain effective volunteer veterans court mentors.

Description unavailabile

Trauma and Substance Abuse: Effects on Parenting and Service Engagement in the Child Welfare and Court Systems

While there is a growing awareness that many children involved in the child welfare system have experienced trauma, the high prevalence of trauma among birth parents is less recognized. When a parent has past experiences of trauma it can affect his or her ability to keep children safe, work with professionals and engage and participate in services. At this session you will learn about the service aspects of Maricopa County Cradle to Crayons Child Welfare Center, evidence-based practices and techniques for successful engagement, and how these services are designed to meet the needs of parents and their children (birth to three) involved in the child welfare and court systems. Sex Traff icking Awareness This session will explore the issue of sex trafficking as it appears in Arizona. We will discuss how to identify indicators of sex trafficking situations, differences between dating violence and sex trafficking, and techniques of sex traffickers. The impact of sex trafficking on the victims will be described along with the challenges of serving and treating this unique population. The roles of law enforcement, child welfare, court personnel, juvenile justice staff and social service providers that are required to have a multidisciplinary approach to detect, identify and treat these victims will be outlined. Intervention and treatment techniques will also be described. The Wounded Healer: Distress Among the Helping Profession

This session is designed to increase awareness of the recent research on those who enter the field of counseling with trauma and wounds of their own, and how the data trasnlates into monitoring wellness and distress within ourselves in the profession.

Military/Veteran Culture and the Justice-Involved Veteran

This session will help equip individuals and organizations with information, tools and resources to effectively serve justice-involved military service members, veterans and their families experiencing stress and crisis. This training is being conducted in partnership with the Arizona Supreme Court.

BREAKOUT SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

Arizona Mental Health Court Standards (Cont.)

The standards were approved by the Arizona Judicial Council in December. This session will offer an overview of the work of the Mental Health Court Advisory Committee, established by the Chief Justice, on program standards, reporting requirements and other policy considerations for mental health courts.

Navigating Services for Veterans

This session will orient attendees to the complex and often difficult world of navigating the resources needed to improve the success of justice involved veterans. Systems of care, barriers to access, holistic service inclusion and eligibility will be discussed. Strategies of how to resolve these concerns will be covered.

Preventing Opioid-Related Overdoses: Life-Saving Information for Criminal Justice Professionals Serving Opioid-Involved Offenders

Opioid-related overdoses have been deemed a public health ‘epidemic’ by many federal agencies and political and community leaders. In this workshop we will provide participants with an overview of the prevalence of opioid overdoses and the primary contributing factors. Participants will learn how to identify those individuals at high risk for opioid overdose, as well as the signs and symptoms of an active overdose. Presenters will provide participants with tangible steps non-medical professionals can take when someone in their custody or presence is experiencing an opioid overdose. Medications used to reverse opioid overdose, such as naloxone (Narcan®), will be reviewed. Attendees will also be provided with additional resources for further study or to share with their peers and colleagues.

Trauma-Informed Care Youth who have experienced trauma have become part of the landscape in America today. Research suggests that most of these youth have experienced early and multiple traumatic events and also experience sifniciant mental health problems, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, suicidal ideation, attachment disorders, and substance abuse disorders. This session will educate direct care personnel on trauma and its impact on growth and development.

Monday, april 27 - 3:30-5:00 p.M. Outputs and Outcomes: Measuring and Evaluating a Problem Solving Court Initiative In this session we will explore the importance of early development of the output and outcome metrics needed to evaluate a problem solving court initiative: where to look for evaluation help and how to use it, what output and outcome measures are and how to build them, how to use these measures to plan your effort or improve operations, the challenges you will face in doing an evaluation, and how to successfully complete an evaluation and use its results. Best Pratices in Assessment, Management and Treatment of Impaired Drivers

Probation and parole departments face unique challenges in assessing risk levels for DUI offenders. Often jurisdictions have statutory treatment requirements for impaired drivers that place an emphasis on quantity over the quality of treatment, leaving probation officers to wonder which treatment type is most appropriate. This workshop will provide an overview and continuum of evidence-based practices from intake to discharge including the latest research on assessment tools, supervision strategies, available technologies, and alcohol treatment programming to help officers maximize their effectiveness while reducing risk to the community. Trauma, Rage, and Dissociation: Movement is the Key to Release and Recovery Trauma is encoded in subcortical regions of the brain, experienced as lack of integration. Through neural integration, rational thinking becomes possible, survival reflexes come under voluntary control, and the limbic (emotional) system calms down. When neural systems are in balance, the resulting state of equilibrium allows us to overcome self-defeating habits, change perceptions, achieve self-regulation, and develop potential. This presentation reviews the work of Dr. Paul Dennison, professional educator and pioneer in the field of kinesiology, and his wife Gail, a movement educator. This work has resulted in a program of sensory development, Educational Kinesiology.

Arizona Mental Health Court Standards

House Bill 2310 (Laws 2013, Chapter 140) required the Administrative Office of the Courts to submit a report to the Arizona Legislative and Executive Departments by December 2014 concerning their findings and recommendations on mental health courts and specialized probation caseloads in Arizona. Those findings and recommendations included standards for the design of mental health courts, for the training of judges and court staff, and for procedures to establish and implement efficient, effective, and accountable mental health courts in Arizona.
