WEBINAR Gender-responsive correctional interventions and the Women’s Risk Need Assessment: Dr. Emily Salisbury
Submit the form to register now The Women’s Risk Needs Assessment (WRNA) represents the only suite of peer-reviewed risk/need instruments designed by and for system-impacted women. The WRNA helps staff, and the women they supervise, identify clients’ criminogenic needs while better understanding their strengths.
In this webinar with WRNA co-creator Dr. Emily Salisbury, you’ll learn more about the different needs of justice-involved women, the “why” behind gender-responsive programming, and get an overview of the newly-released WRNA collection, which aligns gender-responsive interventions with WRNA domains.
This isn’t just a presentation – it’s a valuable resource for anyone interested in transforming the landscape of supporting justice-involved women in their agency. Bring your questions and come prepared to redefine the way you approach gender-responsive programming.
