205DESCRIPTION
This session provides a comprehensive understanding of the intersection between mental health and impaired driving. Participants will learn how mental health disorders, trauma, and co-occurring substance use can influence impaired driving behavior, decision-making, and recidivism.
Researchers, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, clinicians, judges and probation staff will encourage justice partners to abandon a one-size-fits all approach to impaired driving in favor of evidence based practices and the use of comprehensive mental health screening and assessment in the criminal justice setting to identify DUI offenders who have substance use and/or mental health disorders that require intervention, all in an effort to reduce recidivism.
