Evident Change to Present at APPA Winter Training Institute

January 22, 2025 | Evident Change

Jan 26-29 American Probation and Parole Association 2025 Winter Training Institute, Las Vegas, NV

Katie Meyer, Simone Sawyer Wilson, and Jeff Morino will present a workshop at the 2025 American Probation and Parole Association (APPA ) Winter Training Institute in Las Vegas, NV. The conference can be attended in person or virtually.

The workshop, “Digging Deeper: Identifying the ‘Why’,” focuses on understanding patterns and triggers that contribute to unlawful behavior in order to achieve rehabilitation and behavioral change. While many tools exist to assess strengths and needs, there is often less emphasis on identifying the underlying patterns of motivation and root causes of these behaviors. Distinguishing between symptoms and root causes is key to developing effective supervision plans. Addressing only the symptoms can result in a cycle of reactive measures, whereas targeting the root causes can significantly reduce or even eliminate the problematic behaviors. In this workshop, participants will learn how to identify the recurring patterns and motivating factors that drive illegal behaviors, as well as how to incorporate targeted interventions into case management and supervision planning.
