Course Description: The positive correlation between mental illness, and adolescents who are justice-involved is a topic that has received increased attention in recent years (Barker et al., 2024). Added to this, is a growing population of adolescents who are experiencing homelessness and who become incarcerated. Concerningly, many of these adolescents are disproportionately African American. Directed through the lens of a correctional psychologist, this training will encourage participants to engage in a discussion regarding why African American adolescents are involved in the justice system, identifying why these adolescents are experiencing homelessness, the prevalence of mental illness while they are incarcerated, as well as intervention techniques that are aimed at this specific population.Target Audience : Community-Based Organizations and ACBH contracted Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Provider staff.Measurable Learning Objectives:<ul><li>The learner will be able to list two types of mental illness that are African American adolescents who are incarcerated. </li><li>The learner will be able to identify two references in current literature related to African American adolescents who are justice involved. </li><li>The learner will be able to explain two current risks related to adolescents who are experiencing homelessness. </li><li>The learner will be able to identify three intervention strategies learned from this training. </li></ul>About The Presenter:Darius Campinha-Bacote, PsyD, HSP - is a licensed clinical psychologist at the Dallas County Juvenile Detention Center, where he is a functional family therapist and program supervisor for the Functional Family Therapy program.
