Attendees will have the opportunity to attend intensive sessions throughout the event that focus on key topics in community corrections such as physical and mental health for probation officers (POs), administering an Impaired Driving Assessment, motivational interview skills, building specialized mental health caseloads, and supervising high-risk clients.
One of the highlights of the training institute will be the unveiling of APPA's first ever National Standards for Community Supervision on Saturday, June 29 at 2:00pm. This historic moment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for POs to witness the publication of these national standards.
On Saturday evening, June 29, APPA will recognize over 30 graduates from its Leadership Institute. This 12-month program focuses on learning, self-discovery, and organizational change for community corrections professionals and aims to develop the next generation of leaders in the field.
The training institute will conclude on Monday, July 1 at 11:00am with a keynote speech from Chef Jeff Henderson. Henderson is an award-winning chef, bestselling author, philanthropist, television personality, and leader in personal and professional development for formerly incarcerated individuals. After serving nearly ten years in prison, he discovered his passion for cooking and worked his way up to become the executive chef of Café Bellagio in Las Vegas.
