Implementing RNR Strategies in Drug Courts and Reentry Programs: Lessons Learned from a SAMHSA’s GAINS Center Learning Collaborative
September 4, 2024, 2:30–4:00 p.m. ET Â
Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) principles have applications that help criminal justice programs support individuals with behavioral health disorders across the sequential intercepts, including adult drug courts and adult reentry programs. Recently, three site teams engaged in a collaborative learning initiative hosted by SAMHSA’s GAINS Center focused on "Implementing RNR Strategies in Drug Courts and Reentry Programs." This initiative aimed to enhance their understanding of integrating RNR principles and utilizing related tools within their programming. The collaborative not only facilitated knowledge exchange but also created a supportive environment for overcoming challenges and maximizing successes.
This webinar will share the outcomes and insights from the "Implementing RNR Strategies in Drug Courts and Reentry Programs” Learning Collaborative. Participants will have the opportunity to hear directly from the involved sites, who will share their experiences navigating the implementation of RNR principles in their drug court and reentry programs. They will also discuss how their involvement in the Learning Collaborative has aided them in making significant program-level adjustments and improvements.
