How to Use Journaling in Treatment with Justice-Involved Clients

Despite its proven effectiveness, journaling as a clinical practice with justice-involved clients does not always get the attention it deserves. Some clinicians remain ambivalent about its use, especially when they don’t see its benefits. Given that so many treatment programs are oriented towards helping clients take the perspective of others, improve their decision-making and other cognitive skills, and engage in self-reflection, it is clear that journaling has a role in improving treatment outcomes.

In this webinar, Dr. Janet DiGiorgio-Miller explores the potential of journaling in therapeutic settings, particularly for justice-involved clients. She covers several key aspects: Evidence base for journaling, Role of journaling in treatment, Practical implementation tips, Considerations for inpatient and prison settings

Our Safe Haven: Navigating the Complexities of Inclusive Language in Professional Practice

Person-first and identity-first language play a crucial role in shaping perceptions and treatment of individuals. While mental health professionals strive to demonstrate respect and courtesy to their clients, implementing these language practices is far more nuanced and complex than it might initially appear. Despite these obstacles, adopting first-person language remains essential for creating a respectful and supportive environment for patients. Professionals can improve their use of inclusive language through continued education, self-reflection, and consistent practice.

These Our Safe Haven sessions, co-moderated by Molly Shepard and David Prescott, focus on the implementation and importance of inclusive language. The sessions provide a space for professionals to explore current communication trends in mental health and criminal justice fields.

Assessing, Treating, and Supervising Autistic Adults Who Have Offended Sexually

With the increasing occurrence of adult autism diagnoses, there is a growing need for evaluators, treatment providers, and parole and probation officers with the skills to work with this population. Presenter Tiffany Looney MS, LPC, CCSOT developed this training to address the gaps in our understanding of autism spectrum disorder and their implications for clinical and supervisory practices.

In this training, participants develop an understanding of the neurobiological differences of the autistic brain, the social model of disability, and what it means to be neurodiversity-affirming. Ms. Looney discusses reasons why autistic persons sexually offend, how their reasons may differ from those of their non-autistic peers, and how this impacts our understanding of risk, treatment needs, and effective supervision of these clients. She further describes key areas of autistic functioning, differentiating between autistic meltdown, shutdown, and burnout, as well as other effects of autism on mental and physical health, executive and adaptive functioning, and sensory processing.
