Corrections Community

Hi to all -

I am a clinical social worker in an inpatient psych unit in a prison.  am always interested in hearing what other folks are doing.  currently we are offering groups such as DBT skills, Anger Management, Managing Auditory Hallucinations, mental illness awareness class, symptom management.  We hope to get a dual diagnosis group going soon.  The managing auditory hallucinations group is one that I developed based on an article I read some years back in a Psychosocial Nursing journal.  So what are other folks doing?

If you are working in an inpatient setting in a prison, I would be interested in hearing how your unit is structured in terms of hierarchy and how the officers and clinical staff work together.

Hello. In Maryland we send almost all our psch patients to a special institution for them. the Patuxent institution.

Deb:

It's not answer to your question, but another question for you. I am a psychologist in a county jail in Saint Louis and struggling to get some groups started. Would you be amenable to sharing some information on the groups you are already doing?
