This is a follow up to a previous post, but I’ve narrowed down my focus a bit and am hoping to interview some counselors who have worked intake at a DCC in Pennsylvania. I’m part of research effort thats focused on the new implementation of STRONG-R and if there have been any changes made to the diagnostic interview process or if anyone has been given training with the tool. Thanks in advance!
Hello! I'm a student researcher in Pennsylvania, and for about a year I've been on a team that's studying risk and needs assessments like the LSI-R, and more recently the STRONG-R. I was wondering if any COs had access to their old training materials, or if you could share your experience in training to administer the STRONG-R (even if that is outside PA!). There is a lot we don't know about it, and Vantage keeps everything under lock and key, so insights from people who work in SCIs about how STRONG-R has changed things would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to write a comment or send a DM, I do have a budget to work with!
Edit: So after talking to a few people who have worked in PADOC, I figured out that I want to narrow down key persepctives to people who have worked as counselors in corrections, but if you have experience with the intake process generally, then any insight would be great
