This book draws upon the Colorado Model of Criminal Defense-Based
Forensic Social Work - a holistic, client-centered, collaborative
approach that uses a trauma-informed care framework - to outline
the numerous roles and skills of a forensic social worker. The
comprehensive, developmentally informed model employs a past (e.g.,
mitigation themes and life history compilation), present (e.g.,
client contact and current functioning support), and future (e.g.,
reentry services) framework to provide mitigation narratives for
defendants and to create a comprehensive approach to service. The
text starts with an overview of practice standards, ethical
considerations, and legal frameworks. Next, chapters examine the
unique roles that a forensic social worker must take on and the
skills they need to possess. These include using clinical
interventions with clients in nonclinical settings, working with
clients of different identities and backgrounds, assisting with
reentry planning for incarcerated clients, and collaborating with
experts outside of the defense team. Finally, the authors provide
strategies for practitioners to engage in their own self-care.
Interwoven with four case studies using the Colorado Model, this
book will be valuable reading for graduate schools of social work,
law school programs which have clinics or direct practice
components to legal studies, and at defender agencies who contract
with or employ social workers on staff.
