The Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice has been successful in identifying these challenges and identifying strategies to improve resources for youth returning to their community.

Objectives: Participants will be able to identify the barriers in providing resources for justice-involved youth being released from secure facilities; participants will be able to identify strategies for developing reentry initiatives including the development of six domains of aftercare; and participants will learn implementation strategies used to connect youth upon release to the community providers including health care, housing, recreation, education, vocational training and employment.

C-2D Suicide Prevention and Intervention: A Clinical Update (CE/CME) Room 200 Sponsored by the Healthcare Committee Suicide remains one of the

leading causes of deaths in prisons and jails. The suicide rate in correctional settings has increased over recent years requiring that suicide prevention strategies be revisited. This workshop will review the research literature on suicide in corrections. Risk factors that increase an individual’s risk for suicide will be discussed. Evidence-based behavioral health interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing will be presented as interventions with suicidal inmates. Finally, components of a comprehensive suicide prevention program will be reviewed to include staff training, screening and evaluation, crisis response, documentation and debriefing. Objectives: Participants will be able to identify individual, environmental and situational risk factors for suicide in correctional settings; effectively document suicide risk assessment evaluations; and implement an effective and comprehensive suicide prevention program.
