Beyond the Cell:Supporting Justice-Involved Participants SDA
About
Join CareChoice for a practical and informative webinar exploring how to safely and effectively support justice-involved participants with disability as they transition from custodial or forensic settings into the community.Participants involved with the justice system often face significant barriers when accessing appropriate housing and supports - including fragmented planning, complex risk considerations and unclear system responsibilities. This session brings together disability, legal, compliance and clinical perspectives to examine what works in practice when supporting safe, structured and person-centred transitions into community-based SDA.
Designed for clinicians, support coordinators, justice workers and other referrers working in complex forensic contexts, this webinar aims to provide clarity, confidence and practical next steps.
What we’ll cover:
- Common challenges in transitioning justice-involved participants into the community
- Understanding participant readiness, risk and support needs in forensic contexts
- How disability, justice and clinical systems intersect — and where gaps often occur
- Practical strategies for multi-agency coordination and risk management
- Real-world examples of successful transitions into community SDA
