Incentives, Sanctions, and Service Adjustments Workshop
Facilitate lasting behavior change in participants with tools and techniques from the latest research and innovations.
Overview

The incentives, sanctions, and service adjustments (ISSA) workshop will challenge court teams to self-assess and receive assistance with taking corrective steps to improve policy, practice, and outcomes. The workshop includes a follow-up coaching session by faculty to observe staff meetings and status hearings, and to provide feedback on progress with implementation plans developed during the workshop. (This follow-up session is a mandatory component.)
Workshops are available virtually or in person at no charge to your jurisdiction.
