Overview: The COVID-19 pandemic created a unique crisis for the world and especially for correctional agencies. Leading during these uncertain times and managing correctional staff and offenders presented a myriad of challenges for the corrections field and the general public. As correc- tional leaders, the expectation to lead is of the utmost importance while fostering dedication, teamwork, preparation, communication, and ensuring the health and safety of many. This session will focus on how agency leadership exhibits leadership skills, promote employee self-care, minimize negative outcomes, and maintain public safety. Participants will share their personal experiences of how they “kept it together” through the pandemic. Learning Objectives: 1. Identify key leadership skills in managing staff and correctional popu- lation during a crisis. 2. Explore strategies needed to effectively lead during uncertain times. 3. Recognize examples of leading through challenging times and the importance of staff wellness. Moderator: David Bobby , Co-Chair, ACA Professional Development Committee, Youngstown, Ohio. Speakers: Tony Parker , Commissioner, Tennessee Department of Correction, Nashville, Tennessee; Annette Chambers-Smith , Director, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Corrections, Columbus, Ohio; Todd Ishee , Commissioner, North Carolina Department of Public Safety, Raleigh, North Carolina; Cortrell Davis , Major, Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, Thibodaux, Louisiana Friday, Feb. 5, 2021 • 8:30–10 a.m. COVID-19 Impact on the Health and Safety of Correctional Staff, Offenders, and the Public Overview: From arrest to re-entry and community supervision, the presence of COVID-19 in corrections has affected the health, both physical and mental, of the justice-involved population as well as employees. The pandemic has altered public safety provisions, movement within facilities, group gatherings, and the delivery of healthcare. This session focuses on how COVID-19 has changed corrections, and which of these changes are likely to remain post-pandemic. Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will be able to analyze the impacts of COVID-19 on daily routines. 2. Participants will be able to explain how corrections has been changed by the pandemic. 3. Participants will be able to identify changes that may become perma- nent post-pandemic. Moderator: Denise Robinson , President & CEO, Alvis, Inc., Columbus, Ohio; ACA Treasurer Speakers: Garry McFadden ; Sheriff, Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, Charlotte, North Carolina; Anthony Annucci ; Acting Commissioner, Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, Albany, New York; John Morley ; Deputy Commissioner and Chief Medical Officer, Depart- ment of Corrections and Community Supervision, Albany, New York

Overview: Correctional staff are essential to public safety. But corrections staff mean much more to an agency than that. Far too often, the mental and physical toll that correctional staff encounter weighs heavy and leads to poor outcomes. Investment in staff wellness is critical, and that investment is not simply a financial fix. This session seeks to elicit support from all levels of management that have direct oversight of staff wellness programs within their agency or facility. The goal of the session is to provide alternative options to improving staff wellness programs when funding is limited. Broad findings from a recent national scan conducted by ACA will be utilized as support. Learning Objectives: 1. List reasons to support staff wellness programs. 2. Identify key barriers to prolonged success of staff wellness programs. 3. Develop ideas for cost-effective staff wellness program alternatives within correctional agencies. Moderator: Gary C. Mohr , American Correctional Association 106 th Presi- dent, Chillicothe, Ohio Speakers: Colette Peters , Director, Oregon Department of Corrections, Salem, Oregon; Scott Frakes , Director, Nebraska Department of Correc- tional Services, Lincoln, Nebraska; Gary Junker , Ph.D., HSP-P, Director of Health and Wellness Services, North Carolina Department of Public Safety, Raleigh, North Carolina; Sonya Gillespie , Major, Denver Sheriff’s Depart- ment, Denver, Colorado Saturday, February 6, 2021 • 8:30–10:00 A.M. Prevention, Intervention and Management of Disruptive Behaviors Overview: Disruptive behaviors have a substantial effect on the safety of staff and the justice-involved population in jails and prisons. Understanding the factors that contribute to offender disruptive behaviors is essential to ensure safety of offenders, correctional officers and staff. It is crucial for corrections professionals to respond to disruptive behavior in ways that produce positive outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach in addressing the impact of disruptive behaviors on correctional operations is essential in the alignment of implementing evidence-based practices and services to reduce negative outcomes. Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss ways that we can reduces harm to staff and offenders when a response to disruptive behavior occurs. 2. Identify strategies to mitigate disruptive behaviors in correctional facilities by developing effective policies and procedures and training programs for staff. 3. Recognize behavioral health issues associated with disruptive behaviors and identify key components of behavior management. Moderator: Gary C. Mohr , American Correctional Association 106 th Presi- dent, Chillicothe, Ohio Speakers: Timothy C. Ward , Commissioner, Georgia Department of Corrections, Atlanta, Georgia; Tony Wilkes , Chief of Corrections, Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, Nashville, Tennessee; Dean Aufderheide , Director of Mental Health Services, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, Florida; Tony Parker , Commissioner, Tennessee Department of Correction, Nashville, Tennessee

A-2A Incorporating Clozapine into Treatment Regimen for Mentally Ill Offenders to Assist in the Reduction of Self-Injuries, Assaultive Behavior and Length of Stay in Restrictive Housing (CE, CME, YCE) TRACK – Physician/ Midlevel Clozapine is the only FDA approved medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. The requirement for weekly blood tests for safety monitoring limits its use to people who haven't responded to other treatments. National survey data from state correctional facilities indicates clozapine is infrequently used.

A-2B Treating Alcohol Addiction from a Multidisciplinary Perspective (CE, CME, YCE, CERP) TRACK: Mental Health Alcohol is a drug that over time has gotten less attention in corrections. This may be due to the opioid overdoses and deaths and the resurgence of dangerous drugs such as Synthetic drugs and Methamphetamine. However, alcohol continues for some to be a “Gateway Drug” and it has the potential to wreak havoc in the lives of many of our inmates. This presentation will look at the disease from a “medical lens” and a “psychological lens”. As multiple symptoms emerge, a holistic assessment must be done to capture current problems and potential solutions. Participants will hear from a medical doctor and a psychologist on current issues for inmates and the need for a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment. Topical discussions will include Promising components will be presented which will include: medical assistance, root causes of the disease, power of recovery stories, need for period of abstinence, need to build a life around sober supports and activities, need for cognitive based treatment and other adjunct therapies and the need for community linkage with aftercare planning. Learning Objectives : 1. Participants will identify key medical symptoms and physical outcomes of alcohol addiction. 2. Participants will be able to prepare key treatment components of alcohol addiction by addressing the root cause of the disease. 3. Participants will be able to describe the importance of aftercare in treating alcohol addiction.

multidisciplinary teams for the organized care of inmates. Patients with chronic diseases benefit from routine visits with extensive education regarding their disease and having the patient become a partner with the management of the chronic disease. This requires clear indicators of the severity of the patient’s condition. By reviewing each patient, their history, and progress of their disease over time, the clinician can optimize the treatment plan with the patient. Updating processes to ensure care continues to be provided is essential. Learning Objectives : 1. Participants will identify the strategies used to ensure patients identified patients with chronic care diseases within the correctional environment continue to receive treatment during a pandemic. 2. Participants will apply current practice for the disease entities identified for chronic care. 3. Participants will compare the correlation of medical and mental health diseases that require periodic care and treatment.

Many say that our mouths are considered the “windows” into our overall health. As the prison population's age rapidly increases across the nation, it is important that we recognize the best ways to collaborate in the management of their health while they are incarcerated. During careful oral examinations, dentists have found signs of diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and other major health concerns. This workshop is designed to help medical and dental providers recognize the interrelationships between common systemic health issues and their correlating oral manifestations in the elderly population.

A-4A Implementing Successful Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Program from Jails through Reentry (CE, CME, YCE, CERP) TRACK: Physician/Midlevel Correctional facilities have become ground zero in the battle against the opioid epidemic, with jails and prisons scrambling to identify and respond to opiate intoxication, withdrawal, and dependence. According to SAMHSA, the criminal justice system is the single largest source of referral to the public substance abuse treatment system, with probation and parole treatment admission representing the highest proportion of these referrals. Therefore, implementing a prison to community Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), previously known as MAT, program is not easy. Mental health treatment for incarcerated individuals with Opioid Use Disorder should be provided to assist with compliance of MOUD. One successful approach is what the Louisiana DPS&C achieved in collaborating with two rural jails and local Sheriffs, and how those partnerships have had a ripple effect towards advancement. Learning Objectives : 1. Attendees will recognize necessary components needed to support the implementation of an MOUD program. 2. Attendees will understand the evolving areas of health care that affect the scope of treatment services provided to offenders with an opiate use disorder 3.
