Corrections Counseling - Juvenile Offender Suicide and Treatment Programs

Brought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will address juvenile suicide within juvenile detention and correctional facilities. Incarcerated juvenile offenders have a 400% greater risk than the adolescents who are free in our local communities. This show describes the extent of the problem and we discuss protocols for intervening. We introduce crisis intervention and we use Roberts’ seven-stage crisis assessment and crisis intervention model from his work entitled "Correctional Counseling and Treatment".  With any time remaining we will take a look at juvenile justice facilities and different programs intended to facilitate juvenile suicide reduction.
