D-1B Effective Safety Plans: Utilizing the ISAS as Functional Analysis Tool in Female Incarcerated Individuals with Self-Harm Behaviors (CE/CME) Room 202 In order to more effectively address risk, the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) utilizes the Inventory of Statements About Self Injury (ISAS) to identify the function of incarcerated individuals’ self-harm behaviors and create individualized safety plans. The ISAS includes 13 self-harm functions. WCCW tracks ISAS functions in real-time and develops treatment plans and interventions targeting identified self-harm functions. Local data reflects that women in WCCW’s population most often self-harm for self-punishment, affect regulation and marking distress. Responding to women’s functional needs during safety planning has helped to decrease severity of self-harm, increase therapeutic effectiveness and clarify treatment needs. Objectives: After completing the workshop, participants will be able to utilize the ISAS to determine the function of self-harm behavior; develop a way to track ISAS functions to refine and develop more targeted services; and write a safety and treatment plan using ISAS identified functions to reduce self-harm behaviors and restrictive placements.

D-1A Maintaining Order While Supporting Recovery: Blueprints for a High-Performing and Trauma-Informed Jail (CE, CME, Y CE) Room 200 This session will examine the physical and psychological trauma inherent in jail settings, which impacts both inmates and staff alike. Understanding the causes and impacts of trauma and becoming trauma-informed in our jails is not only critical in the effective management and treatment of inmates, but also creating resilience in the facility workforce. Inmates are confronted with daily traumatic events that positively correlates with arrests; increases risks of recidivism; exacerbates PTSD symptomology; and facilitates re-traumatization. Officers and deputies are confronted with daily challenges in the form of dangerous inmates, staffing problems, mandatory overtime, outside scrutiny and many other toxic stressors that can make their work overwhelming. Objectives: This interactive workshop educates participants on these toxic stressors, focusing on: consciously creating, recognizing, understanding and minimizing inmates and staff exposure to traumatic events; understanding the prevalence of trauma, recognizing how trauma affects individuals in the system, putting this knowledge into practice and utilizing all staff (security, healthcare, mental health) to deliver trauma-informed care; understanding the differences between trauma-informed service and trauma-specific treatment; and the importance of self-care, wellness programs and activities.
