| BASIC TRAINING |
DESCRIPTION:
The Full Training is a two-day course designed for new community
corrections staff who have had no formal SOA-R training
in the past from the State of Colorado (or Correctional
Management, Inc). It is also appropriate for current staff
who have received informal SOA-R training only. Trainees
will learn to administer and interpret all instruments in
the SOA-R process including the Simple Screening Instrument-Revised
(SSI-R), the Level of Supervision Inventory (LSI), the Adult
Substance Use Survey-Revised (ASUS-R), and the Service/Treatment
Recommendation Worksheet (TxRW). Trainees will also learn
the interview skills necessary to administer the SOA-R process
and will learn the basic stages of change model. Staff will
also learn to administer the Colorado Criminal Justice Mental
Health Screen for Adults (CCJMHS-A) and all procedures recommended
to make a mental health referral for offenders with potential
mental health issues |
PREREQUISITES:
None
|
| ADVANCED TRAINING |
DESCRIPTION: The
Advanced Training is a two-day course that is required for
all community corrections case management and clinical staff
in order to complete their SOA-R training certification.
The course is required three (3) months after successful
completion of the formal SOA-R training. After staff have
been formally trained on the SOA-R process and have practical
experience with the SOA-R instruments and process, they
will return for two more days of advanced training. Trainees
will learn an advanced application of the SOA-R process.
Emphasis will be placed on several case studies in order
to provide a deeper and broader application of the SOA-R
process as well as case planning. Staff will not be considered to have completed
the SOA-R training until they have successfully completed
an Advanced Training course. |
PREREQUISITES:
To be eligible to attend the Advanced Training, trainees
must have successfully completed the two-day BASIC Training. Additionally, trainees must also have administered
the SOA-R process to offenders for a minimum of three
months.
