Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in criminal justice settings as an important public health problem. With intent to attend to this complex problem, research has consistently and strongly advocated for increased awareness of TBI in criminal justice populations due to the ever-increasing prevalence rates (e.g., 25-87%) and, importantly, the indicated implications for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals with a history of TBI’s.
During this MHS Public Safety Webinar, Dr. Danielle Ciccone-Coutre, PsyD, ABPP, will provide a general overview of TBI to promote the recognition of trauma and its potential structural impacts on the brain. Identification of typical versus atypical recovery trajectories will be explored with a comparison made of general and criminal justice populations. Potential short and long-term functional impairments will be discussed.
Our presenter will also provide a review of the extant literature on TBIs in criminal justice, with specific attention paid to those individuals with a history of sex offenses. Finally, Dr. Ciccone-Coutre will suggest aspirational yet practical steps to promote the consideration of this oftentimes overlooked health issue by highlighting its importance as a responsivity issue (based on the Risk-Need-Responsivity Model).
