Trauma assessment and treatment for women in the criminal justice system.

Karen Duncan — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:27:16 GMT

Dear Colleagues,

I would be glad to share a comprehensive assessment form with those of you who are working with women in the criminal justice system. If you would like a copy please e-mail me and I will be gald to send it to you.

I am also interested in learning about the type of trauma treatment programs being offered to women within our state and federal prisons. If you work in this particular area please contact me for a discussion and to share resources.

Finally, I am developing a program for women convicted of sexual offenses and would be interested in hearing from colleagues who are working with either adult women or adolescent girls.

Together we make a difference!

Karen Duncan
