Program Description

The Conditional Release Program (CONREP) works with mentally ill offenders, or persons found by courts to be not guilty of an offense they committed by reason of insanity. Students work intensively with a small individual caseload, and co-lead psychoeducational and process groups. Students also visit jails and state hospitals conducting court-ordered evaluations of individuals found incompetent to stand trial and assist in the assessment of patient readiness for community treatment. Students learn about violence risk assessment, including the assessment of anti-social and psychopathic personalities and become familiar with provisions of the California Penal Code concerning mentally ill offenders.
