UPCOMING WEBINARS
Check out our latest scheduled webinars below.
When Thursday, May 28th from 1:00pm - 2:00pm Eastern
Cost FREE
Presenters: Tyler Douglas - CEO, CaseBase
Description: Improving outcomes requires officers to have a deep understanding of evidence-based practices. The challenge is monthly, quarterly, or even annual performance reviews don't give officers the instant and relevant feedback that need to develop those skills.
The problem isn't your quality assurance team - it's their lack of time and tools. There's good news though. AI changes this.
In this session, you'll learn how to use AI tools like CaseBase, ChatGPT, or Copilot to help your officers get faster and more relevant feedback that will lead to better outcomes.
The best part - we won't talk in the abstract. We'll ACTUALLY see how you can use these AI tools to improve your CQI process. Join our panel of AI experts and CQI practitioners for a 1 hour session that will change how your team does CQI forever.

Presenters: Dr. Thomas Sexton - CEO and Model Developer, Functional Family Therapy
Catie Boatwright Borde - Director of Clinical Training Services/Senior Clinical Consultant, FFT Partners, LLC
Description: Justice-involved young adults (ages 18–26) represent a high-need population with elevated rates of recidivism, substance use, and co-occurring mental health disorders. Traditional supervision and intervention models often emphasize individual accountability, overlooking the critical role that family and relational systems play in long-term success.
Functional Family Therapy-Adult (FFT-A) is an evidence-based, family-centered model designed to address these gaps. By engaging a broader definition of “family”—including biological relatives, partners, and prosocial supports—FFT-A helps build a stable foundation for behavior change, autonomy, and successful community reintegration.
This webinar will introduce the FFT-A model and its structured phases of engagement, behavior change, and generalization. Participants will learn how integrating family-based approaches with supervision, case management, and life skills development can reduce criminogenic risk factors, improve compliance, and support sustainable outcomes.
Attendees will gain practical strategies to enhance engagement and improve outcomes with justice-involved young adults in community corrections settings.
