TRAINING OVERVIEW
Currently, many correctional programs are allocating a great deal of resources to implementing evidence-based practices/models in an effort to improve client outcomes. Often times, however, agencies equate implementation solely to staff training. The subsequent assumption is that the staff are competent in the new model and are delivering the services as designed. The result is often poor fidelity to the model and corresponding poor client outcomes. While staff training is necessary for implementing evidence-based practices, training alone is not sufficient. Agencies must build an infrastructure that allows the organization to assess, monitor, and insure fidelity to the model. This is especially critical given emerging research demonstrating a direct relationship between fidelity and client outcomes. This training will help providers understand, plan for, develop and effectively monitor fidelity in the structure and delivery of evidence-based practices in programs. The focus will be on improving overall program quality and meeting the foremost goal of recidivism reduction through fidelity to evidence based practices.
