Why you should attend:
As many as 60% of people who are incarcerated have a history of brain injury, and perhaps as many as 95% of veterans. Brain injury is a risk factor for incarceration, and people with brain injury have more difficulties with prison adjustment. Proper diagnosis and management is likely to improve adjustment and may improve post-release adjustment and decrease recidivism. This first-of-a-kind conference will address all of these topics and enable people working in the Indiana criminal justice system to identify brain injury, determine its potential consequences as a cause of criminal conduct, and to make appropriate referrals for our common clientele.
Who should attend:
Department of Corrections staff and medical providers, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, private practice attorneys.
