First Person Perspectives: From Incarceration to Recovery
Overview
This training will provide a first-hand account of the experience of incarceration, reentry and recovery from those who have lived through it. Trainers will describe their day-to-day experiences of incarceration and the strategies they used to cope with that experience. In addition, they will explore the challenges and opportunities inherent in transitioning to the community from a correctional facility. They will also discuss how incarceration has affected their personal identity and behavior, and provide insight into the sources and impact of stigma on their recovery. Most importantly, they will share their stories of personal strength and resolve to move forward. Ultimately, they will help providers understand how they can best support their justice-involved clients with mental health issues, as they carve a path to recovery. Please only register for this training if you are a FACT provider or an ACT provider serving justice-involved clients in California.
