Mental Health Challenges that Face the Jail Professional
  July 25 - 26, 2022 | Stapleton, AL

In jails across America, we face significant challenges regarding the mental health needs of the men and women in our custody.  While the number of people who are incarcerated may have lessened, more offenders who are in our facilities have mental health issues. Offenders with serious mental illness make up a significant portion of our populations.  This class will focus on strategies on how to minimize the risks that men and women with SMI face while keeping our staff safe.
