AI-Enhanced Case Planning and Contact Notes: Ensuring High Quality, Personalized Change
SESSION INFO
Monday, August 25, 2025
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Discover how AI can transform case planning and contact notes into personalized, trauma-informed tools for real change. In this interactive session, participants will explore how to record intake conversations and use AI to instantly generate high-quality case plans that align with both individual motivations and agency priorities—freeing officers to focus on connection instead of documentation. Participants will also learn how AI transcribes and structures follow-up contact notes, reinforces client goals, and suggests focus areas for future visits. These features support strength-based, motivational communication and create consistent documentation that meets organizational standards. Through hands-on activities, real examples, and expert insights, attendees will practice building aligned motive, delivering trauma-informed feedback, and using AI as a co-pilot to support scalable, high-impact change. Whether you’re an officer, supervisor, or administrator, this session will equip you with practical strategies to streamline your workflow and enhance support for justice-involved individuals.
