Working with Justice-Involved Individuals (Self-Study)
Self-Study
You say you want to help “them.” Yet, you do not attend the training needed to get the required skills to truly help them. When you say you want to help them, what do you then mean by that? Do you mean you want to make yourself feel better that you trick yourself into doing something? How is it that you are truly helping them? What type of life do they really have? What does ”helping” them really mean?

The system has been going from one form of slavery to the next. From slavery to Jim Crow. From Jim Crow to mass incarceration. From mass incarceration to a criminal background. And from a criminal background to dependence and psychological slavery. Might you be contributing to one of these forms while thinking you have been helping these clients? Awareness is power. Come and empower yourself to learn how to truly help your clients instead of hurting them, unknowingly.
What will you learn from this seminar?
- Discover the real reason why individuals become justice-involved.
- Learn the factors that lead to recidivism and how to manage them.
- Learn how to help justice-involved individuals during the post-COVID reentry era.
- Increase your tools of talking with patients and clients, by identifying at least one thing you will start doing differently at the end of the seminar, as a result of the Socratic Motivational Practice framework.
During this 2-hour seminar, we will guide you through an experiential learning process where you will be learning what it takes to help your clients, and how to implement that in daily practice

“The webinar provides relevant information how to work effectively with justice-involved individuals.” - Doritt , LMHC
“I work in a school setting and feel that it is important we understand the criteria of diagnosis to help design a community that feels safe to our youth. Especially considering we work with youth who have been justice-involved. Many of the youth we serve come from communities that are overexposed to traumatic events both directly and indirectly.” - Noemi, LCSW
“Applicable for individuals in and outside the criminal justice system.” - Sarah, LCSW
