Speakers: Derek Aldridge , Training Instructor, Minnesota Department of Corrections — Moose Lake Correctional Facility, Moose Lake, Minnesota; Kayla Disterhaupt , Integrated Education & Training Instructor, Minnesota Department of Corrections — Moose Lake Correctional Facility, Moose Lake, Minnesota; Matthew Favaro, Program Specialist, C-Tech Associates, Inc., Sparta, New Jersey Supporting Justice-Involved Individuals and Professionals: Digital Interventions for Sustainable Change Room 106 Overview: The current correctional rehabilitation landscape faces significant challenges, including limited in-person

programming, wasted time as individuals wait for the end of their sentence for program eligibility, a lack of helpful options reflecting current evidence on behavior change and critical staffing and provider shortages. In response to these challenges, this workshop explores one grant-funded digital intervention recently implemented and preliminary findings on feasibility, acceptability, and impact, comparing outcomes for incarcerated individuals and those on community supervision. Participants will explore how digital interventions can enhance rehabilitation, improve engagement and support behavior change. Speakers: Margarita Amado-Blanco , Program Manager, Stoops Center for Communities, Families, & Children (CFC Center),
