Speaker: Chris Hill , Field Services Administrator, Tennessee Department of Correction, Nashville, Tennessee B-2E Clinical Boundaries in a Correctional Setting: A Psychological Perspective to Influencing Change (CE-RN, CME, Y CE) Room 255 Track: Multi-Disciplinary Service Team Sponsored by the Behavioral Health Committee Research often addresses the importance of boundaries in shaping behavior, emotional regulation and interaction. Boundaries encompass the clear communication of expectations, rules and limitations. Maintaining them facilitates trust in relationships and systems. As such, it is imperative boundaries be clear and consistent to foster improved behavior, compound safety and emotional regulation. Consistent implementation of boundaries reduces negative means of navigating systems and improves the ability to advocate appropriately for themselves. This leads to a position of empowering inmates to make improved choices and weigh productive options as opposed to enabling them and decreasing their ability to function independently within society.

B-2D Reentry Simulation Rooms 243-244

Friday, Aug. 5 t 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m.

Tracks: Reentry/Community Corrections The reentry simulation is for participants to gain an understanding of the obstacles faced by individuals attempting to navigate the system upon release from incarceration and returning to society. This activity simulates a one-month post-release period, which is represented by four weeks (15-minutes per week). Also, there is a group discussion at the end of every week, which will include a final debrief at the conclusion of the reentry simulation. This impactful training will provide participants with a valuable first-hand experience of reentry which can assist in shifting perspectives on reentry. Learning Objectives: 1.Be able to discuss the challenges individuals face entering society after a period of incarceration (e.g., identifications, employment). 2.Discuss evidence-based strategies (e.g., graduated sanctions) that are used to address supervision non-compliance. 3.Shifting perspectives for correctional professionals as it relates to reentry.
