520 _aThis book presents the Colorado Model of Criminal Defense-Based Forensic Social Work as a comprehensive and client-centered approach that uses a trauma-informed care framework. It covers the roles and skills required of forensic social workers, from clinical interventions with clients to reentry planning and collaboration with experts outside of the defense team. The book is structured around a past, present, and future framework, providing a holistic approach to service that includes the creation of mitigation narratives for defendants. It also includes strategies for practitioners to engage in self-care, acknowledging the emotional demands of this work. Four case studies using the Colorado Model are included to demonstrate how it can be applied in practice. This book will be useful for graduate schools of social work, law school programs with direct practice components, and defender agencies that employ or contract with social workers. Overall, it is a valuable resource for those in the field of forensic social work seeking to provide effective and ethical services to their clients.
