    Facilitating Behavior Change - Training
Thu, 01/19/2023 - 12:00
      
            The **National Institute of Corrections (NIC)**, in collaboration with the **Crime and Justice Institute (CJI)**, is pleased to announce the launch of ***Facilitating Behavior Change*** training. This immersive and interactive training will provide community supervision agencies across the nation with a no-cost training for line staff officers in core correctional practices. Facilitating Behavior Change training helps community supervision organizations provide staff with the fundamentals of “What Works” in probation and parole. The training is particularly focused on helping corrections professionals promote prosocial behavior change in persons on supervision. When used with fidelity, the topics covered in this training can make supervision sessions more meaningful, promote sustainability in prosocial behaviors, and reduce risk and recidivism — the ultimate safety goal of any community supervision agency.

Course topics include core correctional practices (CCP), structured skill building, coaching, and feedback. Learning objectives include understanding how the Principles of Effective Intervention (risk, need, responsivity, and fidelity) connect to CCP; identifying when to use CCP skills and how to use them with persons on supervision; using cognitive restructuring tools; problem-solving, coaching, and providing feedback. This blended training consist of 6 hours of virtual instructor-led training and 24 hours of in-person, instructor-led training. Having both online and in-person sessions maximizes efficiency while still providing the value of traditional classroom learning. Participants will take a pre- and post-assessment to demonstrate acquisition of new skills, and upon completion of the course, they will receive a training certificate from NIC.

The deadline for accepting applications will end **February 9, 2023**.
