Social workers are a unique and vital part of legal defense teams within the criminal justice system. Public defense social work is a small but growing field, with opportunities to work on multidisciplinary teams in a unique context, supporting and advocating for individuals who have been marginalized and dehumanized by both society and the legal system. This training aims to explore the landscape of the criminal legal system in Washington, the role of a social worker within a multidisciplinary defense team, and how this work supports broader goals of macro-level advocacy and social change. It will also address implicit bias that social workers internalize about the social construction of crime and "criminals," and discuss how defense social workers can address this same bias within members of the criminal legal system through mitigation, a method of contextualizing an individual's criminal legal involvement through a person-centered and trauma-informed lens.

The Washington State House passed the Matt Adler Suicide Assessment, Treatment, and Management Training Act of 2012 on February 10th, 2012. This act adds a new section to chapter 43.70 RCW and requires initial and ongoing training in suicide prevention for Chemical Dependency Professionals, Licensed Social Workers, and other professions. In the Surgeon General’s 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention: Goals and Objectives for Action, she emphasized the importance of instituting “training for all health, mental health, substance abuse, and human services professionals concerning suicide risk assessment and recognition, treatment, management, and aftercare interventions.” This emphasis on training is a consistent theme throughout this report. Another theme is the importance of developing and promoting “effective clinical and professional practice.” This course is designed to help achieve these objectives. The text and material for this course were chosen because they are evidence-based and nationally recognized. The course will review Motivational and Targeted Case Management. Any additional course material will be chosen using the same high standards of “evidence-based”, “emerging practice”, or “best practice”.
