The Michigan Judicial Institute will present a “District Court Probation Officers Webinar: Screening for Mental Health, Substance Use, and Co-Occurring Disorders in a Criminal Justice Setting” online Tuesday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to noon.
In this training, participants will learn what screening is and how it differs from an assessment. Participants will also learn about a selection of common tools used in a criminal justice or quasi-clinical setting. The program will briefly cover strategies on how to administer a screening for optimal results. Participants will also learn how to take screening results and refer to appropriate assessments or follow-up services, and how screening results can help develop a case management plan that can be used to shape sentencing and probation recommendations.
Speaking at the webinar will be Eric J. Horwood, probation services supervisor, 8th District Court, Kalamazoo.
