Toolkit Serving Justice-Involved Consumers

The primary purpose of the Justice-Involved Toolkit  is to serve as a resource for vocational rehabilitation counselors. The toolkit will also be useful for other practitioners and organizations that work with individuals with disabilities who have been involved with the justice system. It is intended to be both a resource to better understand the needs of justice-impacted adults with disabilities and a  tool to improve the provision of services for this disadvantaged  population in vocational rehabilitation (VR).

The content of this toolkit is focused on serving justice-impacted adults just prior to and after release into the community. For the  purposes of this toolkit, the term justice-impacted refers to individuals who have any experience with our criminal legal system.  While the focus is on individuals that have more direct experience, the toolkit may also be beneficial for assisting individuals indirectly impacted by the criminal legal system (such as family members).
