ABSTRACT

Clinical social workers in county mental health systems often treat clients who are also involved with the criminal justice system. Effective treatment requires that social workers not only stabilize mental health problems but also address criminal behavior using evidence-based practices, a task they may be unprepared for.

Training was conducted by representatives of mental health and criminal justice fields. Evaluation ratings post training revealed significant improvements in all four ICP competency areas including interprofessional communication and treatment skills.
