D. “Ouch!”: Pause the conversation - signals that a statement was offensive while assuming it was unintentional
E. Mindful of each other: Affirm and respect others’ views = dialogue not debate
F. Minimize distractions: Turn OFF cell phones and other electronic devices and notify someone before leaving the room

Correctional Evidence-based Principles
1. Assess actuarial risk/needs; 2. Enhance intrinsic motivation (Responsivity); 3. Target interventions following five key principles;
A. Risk Principle: Prioritize supervision and treatment resources for higher risk offenders returning citizens (RCs),
B. Need Principle: Target criminogenic needs = dynamic risk factors, C. Responsivity Principle: Respond to temperament, learning style (sic),
motivation, culture; and gender before referring to programs, D. Dosage: Structure 40%-70% of high-risk RCs’ time for 3-9 months; E. Treatment: Integrate into sentence/sanction requirements);
4. Skill train with directed practice using cognitive behavioral methods (Responsivity),
5. Administer four to one positive to negative sanctions (Responsivity), 6. Engage ongoing support in natural communities (Responsivity),* 7. Measure relevant processes/practices (Responsivity), 8. Provide measurement feedback (Responsivity).
Front-Load Principle = When
Risk Principle = Who to target and How much Need Principle = What to focus on
Responsivity Principle = How to help Collaboration Principle = With whom

Responsivity: What is Recovery?
Georgia’s Recovery Definition, Principles and Values: The Georgia Recovery Initiative, 2014 http://dbhdd.georgia.gov/georgia%E2%80%99s-recovery-definition-and-guiding-principles-values
Recovery is a deeply personal, unique and self-determined journey through which an individual strives to reach her/his full potential. Persons in recovery improve their health and wellness by taking responsibility in pursuing a fulfilling and contributing life while embracing the difficulties one has faced.
Recovery is not a gift from any system. Recovery is nurtured by relationships and environments that provide hope, empowerment, choices and opportunities.
Recovery belongs to the person. It is a right, and it is the responsibility of us all
We will improve the lives of millions of Americans, their families and communities if we treat addiction to alcohol andother drugs as a public health crisis. To overcome this crisis, we must accord dignity to people with addiction andrecognize that there is no one path to recovery. Individuals who are striving to be responsible citizens can recover on their own or with thehelp of others. Effective aid can be rendered by mutual support groups or health care professionals. Recovery can begin in a doctor’s office, treatmentcenter, church, prison, peer support meeting or in one’s own home. The journey can be guided by religious faith, spiritual experience or secular teachings.Recovery happens every day across our country and there are effective solutions for people still struggling. Whatever the pathway, the journey will be fareasier to travel if people seeking recovery are afforded respect for their basic rights:
1. We have the right to be viewed as capable of changing, growing and becoming positivelyconnected to our community, no matter what we did in the past because of our addiction.
2. We have the right—as do our families andfriends—to know about the many pathways to recovery, the nature of addiction and thebarriers to long-term recovery, all conveyed in ways that we can understand.
3. We have the right, whether seeking recovery in the community, a physician’s office, treatmentcenter or while incarcerated, to set our ownrecovery goals, working with a personalized recoveryplan that we have designed based on accurate andunderstandable information about our health status, includinga comprehensive, holistic assessment.
4. We have the right to select services that buildon our strengths, armed with full information aboutthe experience, and credentials of the people providingservices and the effectiveness of the services andprograms from which we are seeking help.
5. We have the right to be served by organizationsor health care and social service providers thatview recovery positively, meet the highest public healthand safety standards, provide rapid access to services, treatus respectfully, understand that our motivation is related tosuccessfully accessing our strengths and will work with us and our families to find a pathway to recovery.
6. We have the right to be considered as morethan a statistic, stereotype, risk score, diagnosis, label or pathology unit—free from the social stigma thatcharacterizes us as weak or morally flawed. If we relapseand begin treatment again, we should be treated withdignity and respect that welcomes our continued efforts to achieve long-term recovery.
7. We have the right to a health care and socialservices system that recognizes the strengthsand needs of people with addiction andcoordinates its efforts to provide recovery-based care thathonors and respects our cultural beliefs. This support mayinclude introduction to religious, spiritual and secularcommunities of recovery, and the involvement of ourfamilies, kinship networks and indigenous healers as partof our treatment experience.
8. We have the right to be represented byinformed policymakers who remove barriers toeducational, housing and employment opportunities oncewe are no longer misusing alcohol or other drugs and areon the road to recovery.
9. We have the right to respectful,nondiscriminatory care from doctors and otherhealth care providers and to receive services on the samebasis as people do for any other chronic illness, with thesame provisions, copayments, lifetime benefits andcatastrophic coverage in insurance, self-funded/self-insuredhealth plans, Medicare and HMO plans. The criteria of“proper” care should be exclusively between our health care providers and ourselves; it should reflect the severity,complexity and duration of our illness and provide areasonable opportunity for recovery maintenance.
10.We have the right to treatment and recoverysupport in the criminal justice system and toregain our place and rights in society once we haveserved our sentences.
11.We have the right to speak out publicly aboutour recovery to let others know that long-term recoveryfrom addiction is a reality.

Bryan Stevenson: We need to talk about an injustice http://www.ted.com/talks/bryan_stevenson_we_need_to_talk_about_an_injustice; “…there is power in identity. When we create the right kind of identity, we can say things to the world around us that they don't actually believe makes sense. We can get them to do things that they don't think they can do.”

Responsivity as Cultural Competency 1. General responsivity = How
a. Your role and how you use your power/authority b. Use of incentives/sanctions/rewards (positive and negative reinforcers)
2. Individual responsivity = What The characteristics that you allow in your conversations
Cultural competence = evidence-based practices that provide practice-based evidence of effectiveness.
Everyone works with people who are inside and outside of their cultural groups; so we must be able to learn about, relate to, and communicate with people who are different – because everyone’s lived experience is different

Responsivity: Offense Desistance
Fergus McNeill: Desistance, Identity and Belonging; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OAZ0huxpz0
“Desistance is not in the gift of criminal justice agencies working alone, it depends on connecting with other sectors that can provide important supports and functions.”
“Dr. John Laub: Criminal record ceases to be predictive _________ years after not having an offense.”
Adapted from McNeill, F., Farrall, S. Lightowler, C. & Maruna, S. (2014). Desistance as a framework for supervision. In G. Bruinsma and D. Weisburd (Eds.), Encyclopedia of criminology and criminal justice. New York: Springer-Verlag.
1. Desistance: how and why people stop offending and move on with their lives
2. Interplay of three sets of desistance factors
2.1. Physical: Physical and psychological changes associated with maturation or aging
2.2. Social: Connections and bonding including social institutions; school, work, marriage, etc. – those relationships shift and affect behavior; Mentors help in re-imagining who I am, bridging social capital
2.3. Identity: How you see or label yourself and how others label you and with what consequences and effects
3. Three domains of desistance
3.1. Primary: behavioral
3.2. Secondary: labeling and identity
3.3. Tertiary: belonging; to whom am I affiliated
4. What factors should be tracked to show that we are supporting desistance
4.1. Focus on measures of shifts in identity and belonging (secondary and tertiary) and other intermediate outcomes
Promoting offense desistance and recovery ©2015 Brauchtworks Consulting Page 12
4.2. Look for the individual’s strengths/challenges (who do I think I want to become): why do I think what I propose to do to help will bring about the result I expect? Leads to a theory of change
4.3. Identify metrics to assess the theory of change
4.3.1. Outcome “star”: help the individual rate where s/he stands on each point or dimension and collaboratively chart progress over time
4.3.2. Journaling or diaries: reflect the extent to which the person feels s/he is shifting identity, changing or moving on, recovery or quality of life, social cognitive, networks, connections, etc.
Responsivity: Engaging ongoing support in natural communities Identifying Fun Resources for a Directory
1. Safe places to have Fun List eight criteria to define “safe”, for example: low cost, quiet, good quality,
etc. 2. Each group member shares two places they would go to have fun. Be specific!
Review the criteria list (#1) to explain what features your place has – and why you recommend it!
Remember: Dialogues, not debates
