This program reviews the basics of probation and parole- the two main forms of community corrections supervision in the U.S. There is a general discussion of the programs that have been developed for community corrections clients with mental illness, such as specialty mental health probation caseloads. The research on the effectiveness of these interventions will be presented, along with a discussion of the role of mental health professionals in such programs.
This program is geared toward all audiences who are interested in or thinking about providing mental health services to clients in community corrections.
