Community Supervision/Treatment Collaboration: Collaborative of the Risk Need Responsivity Model

JSI Vice President Mack Jenkins will discuss the importance of supervision and treatment working together. With the Risk Need Responsivity (RNR) model as a backdrop, the session will address the necessary interplay between community supervision officers/agents (probation/parole) and treatment providers in working with a justice involved population with behavioral health issues. An overview of the RNR model and its principles will be presented. Mr. Jenkins will discuss specific roles for community supervision and treatment in a collaborative case management approach. The session will present a supervision modality specifically suitable for collaboration with treatment and will also suggest training competencies for both roles. Checklist for applying collaborative case management will be provided.
