APPA’s interactive learning experience, the Community Corrections Chase (C3), is back with another rewarding and competitive challenge for training institute attendees! It is a take on the popular CBS show, Amazing Race, where contestants “race” to win a cash prize. In our competition, community corrections/supervision professionals will team-up to “chase” knowledge about practices, theories, and policies that increase understanding of this industry, while learning about New York and its important role in the history of Community Corrections.
This session has limited availability, so do not miss out on this exciting opportunity!
*Registration for the training institute is required.
Written and Directed by Jonathan Fisher
During this plenary session, the presenter will share how using best practices in our field can yield a much higher degree of successful outcomes. During the session, attendees will be able to see the award-winning probation documentary, In a Whole New Way. This industry embraced short film, featured at over 130 festivals worldwide, raises issues and showcases best probation practices. How appropriate – it will take the audience through work done by the New York City Probation Department and one of its highly touted programs to give individuals under supervision a chance for not just a job, but a career. The subject of gainful, meaningful employment is top of mind for community corrections departments across the nation. The audience will have a chance to participate in a robust Q&A period influenced by priorities and strategies to enhance results.

Embracing a career in corrections is not for the faint of heart. Even the most passionate, committed, and capable professionals can become hardened, cynical, and ultimately burn out. In a field where change is hard and success feels short-lived, hope and passion can be in short supply. So how do we stay focused on the important work that we do, those we serve, and show up resiliently optimistic each day? Join Dr. Alexandra Walker as she shares how to move through our failures by embracing resilient optimism. Learn and connect with others as we learn what it means to fail forward in community corrections.
