Occupational therapy for people with criminogenic needs
About
Criminogenic needs are dynamic factors that contribute to a person engaging in criminal behaviour. They include personal factors, environmental factors, and occupational factors (unemployment, recreational & leisure activities). This workshop presents evidence-based approaches used by forensic mental health (FMH) occupational therapists who work with clients involved in the criminal justice system. With the use of an occupational therapy practice process to guide the session, participants will learn about the OT role in addressing criminogenic needs, ways of exploring occupations that may cause harm, understanding risk from an occupational therapy perspective, and addressing occupational deprivation and the impacts of institutionalistion. It is suitable for occupational therapists working with mental health or justice involved people. If you have questions about your suitability for this workshop, please contact FMHPDP@forensicare.vic.gov.auLocation
