Enhancing Tribal Probation: Mental Health

Despite the overrepresentation of individuals with mental health conditions in the justice system, mental health is not a strong predictor of criminal behavior or violence. In fact, individuals with
mental health conditions are more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than to perpetrate one.  It is essential that tribal probation officers learn evidence-based practices to support probationers with mental health conditions in order to increase the likelihood of
their success.
