The Clinical Justice Program: An Integrated Approach to Justice Navigation

Presenters: Courtney Hutson, Samantha Airhart, Vicky Simos, Marnie McDermott

The Clinical Justice Program (CJP), established in 2018, is a collaboration between Centre for Behaviour Health Sciences (Mackenzie Health) and Community Networks of Specialized Care-Central East (CLH Developmental Support Services). The CJP’s mission is to support complex individuals with a dual diagnosis who are involved in the criminal justice system as a victim, witness or accused to ensure they experience the justice system in an equitable manner. This in turn, will provide access to appropriate sanctions, improve intersectional collaboration, as well as reduce fiscal costs associated with prolonged court delays. The CJP encompasses four separate pillars of clinical support including: the Justice Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) Clinic, the Adapted- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (A-DBT) Justice Group, the Justice App and the Justice Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Clinic (in development). To date, qualitative and quantitative data supports the success of this program, which is being delivered through a hybrid model of support. Participants will learn four different models of support, community collaboration and the referral process which can assist an individual with a dual diagnosis that has encountered the justice system. The participants will also be offered the opportunity to download the user-friendly Justice App that can be used to build capacity within their organization to assist clients that are currently being supported in the justice system.

Trauma Informed Care

Presenter: Leah Jeffery

People with developmental disabilities experience mental health issues as a result of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and neglect in greater numbers than the general public. Behaviors are often mistaken as non-compliance, manipulative, and attention-seeking when in actuality they may be a response to earlier experiences of trauma. Through understanding the neurobiology of trauma, participants will begin to reshape their view of behaviors and develop a toolbox of evidenced-based strategies to effectively support those in their care.
