Corrections

Supporting the mental health and reskilling of supervised populations

Identifying and supporting mental health and psychiatric concerns in pre- and post-release supervised populations is crucial. Our comprehensive assessments screen for psychological issues among individuals under correctional supervision. These assessments are designed to identify mental health needs early, ensuring timely intervention and support.

In addition to screening, a range of assessments tailored to assist correctional facilities in managing and addressing the mental health needs of their populations is also available. Our tools help facilities develop effective treatment plans, improve inmate well-being, and support successful reintegration into society.

Our assessments support the resources, development, and success of individuals at all levels of supervision. We offer tools for:

  • Job skills and readiness
  • Mental health and psychiatric concerns
  • Suicide risk assessment
  • Dyslexia screening
  • Personnel selection – Identifying the right candidates for high-stress roles
