Winnebago County will expand The Resource Intervention Center (RIC), which is a multiagency, multidisciplinary center where public and private agencies assign staff members to be co-located to deliver evidence-based, coordinated services to individuals in probation or pre-trail supervision in Winnebago County. Research indicates that focusing on high-risk individuals is the path to reducing recidivism. As such, RIC services are only available to those deemed moderate to high-risk based on actuarial risk assessment results. Bringing service providers in-house supports both research findings and is the RIC strategy for delivering all services. This proposal seeks to increase RIC service offerings to include dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), individual therapy sessions, and Seeking Safety, a therapeutic model for highest-risk offenders impacted by substance use disorder, and/or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This program serves approximately 120 criminal justice involved individuals annually.
