2020 ACA San Diego Program Book_Winter Conference

Saturday 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m.

A-2B Dynamic Security : Using Behavior Modification to Enhance Safety in Your Facility (CE) Room 4 Dynamic Security is a correctional principle successfully used in Norway that has been introduced into the North Dakota prison system. Dynamic Security focuses on all staff members building rapport with residents of a prison with the intention of changing behavior. This workshop will provide examples proving that dynamic security can improve restrictive housing units by engaging correctional officers in behavior change activities. We will present case examples with data to show that these integrated behavioral health and custody teams create the environment that reliably fosters dramatic, measurable, and sustained improvement in resident behavior. In addition, a field training officer from the North Dakota State Penitentiary will guide participants through the process of incorporating dynamic security principles into initial officer training. Learning Objectives: • Incorporate positive behavior reports into prison modification systems utilizing the information, knowledge, and forms provided at this session. • Learn the specific methods to build positive rapport with residents in order to improve conditions in prison housing units, including restrictive housing units. • Incorporate dynamic security principles into field training programs.

A-2A Better Understanding Trauma, Abuse and Invisible Suffering experienced by Men

Room 2 The first part of the workshop is titled “Men Do Experience Trauma,” and will focus on the different traumas men encounter to help attendees see and better understand what trauma through the eyes of men. The next part, “Men Can Heal from Trauma,” will take the audience inside the process of men reaching out for help and the amazing possibilities that come to understand that the act of pursuing healing is not an act of weakness for men. It is absolutely a sign of strength! The last part of the workshop will go over the impact of both unattended male trauma and men healing from trauma in corrections by inmates, by staff and its effect on their loved ones. Learning Objectives: • Discuss the hardships that men face with trauma. • Learn some typical men’s reactions to avoid addressing their trauma and how to better acknowledge and address the invisible suffering of men. • Learn successful ways that help men heal from trauma, and share tools that have helped the healing process.
