B-2E Innovations in Complementary Health Care: Programs that Make a Difference (CE, CME) TRACK: Treatment While complementary health care is not intended to supplant licensed medical care, it can be used to enhance existing treatment plans. With more research emerging about the potential benefits of complementary health care, it is becoming increasingly popular in many systems. This session explains some of the most common forms of complementary health care, including yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and biofeedback, and the potential for these to be beneficial from a security perspective. New programs being piloted within correctional facilities will also be discussed, along with ideas for receiving funding through federal partners. Learning Objectives : 1. Identify the benefits and downsides of complementary health care 2. Address misconceptions regarding complementary health care 3. Explore new innovations in complementary care Moderator: Michael Miskell , MPH, CHES ® , Director, Office of Correctional Health, American Correctional Association, Alexandria, Virginia Speakers : Dean Aufderheide , Ph.D., Director of Mental Health Services, Florida Department of Corrections, Tallahassee, Florida ; Harbans Deol , D.O., PhD, Medical Services Director, Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, Lincoln, Nebraska; Greg Collins , Sergeant, Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women, Virginia Department of Corrections

TDOC sought delivery of evidence-based rehabilitative programming at its state- operated Community Supervision District Sites and DRCs to address each offender's cognitive and behavioral needs and matters such as their appreciation of the impact of crime on its victims and the dynamics of domestic violence. Specific to the needs of TDOC, we have implemented a phased, collaborative management solution combining in-person traditional and technology- based treatment tracks, aligned with TDOC's existing treatment pathways. Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will learn about a technology-based service delivery system that provides evidence-based programming within TDOC’s identified programming areas. 2. Participants will learn the early results of a pilot to determine if in-person programming has the same effect as virtual programming. 3. Participants will learn the results of a pilot to reach more participants using technology-based service delivery than through traditional in-person service delivery. Moderator: Kathy P.
