Due to the recent COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) pandemic, hospitals are in dire need of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). Local hospitals and medical centers are running low and need face masks, face shields, and gowns to keep those on the front lines of this pandemic safe.
The health and well being of our class participants, instructors and staff is paramount in any decision to alter our schedule. Therefore, all Eastern Michigan University Professional Programs & Training open-enrollment classes scheduled through April 17, 2020 have been cancelled, rescheduled or temporarily transitioned to a video conferencing format due to the evolving and escalating COVID-19 pandemic. Online classes will continue to run as scheduled. Our team will contact enrolled participants with more information about the status of their particular class. Our
registration site has been updated to reflect currently available classes and dates.

The incidence of individuals with disabilities in the criminal justice system is daunting. There is a real need for social workers to work to prevent this reality and support individuals with disabilities who are in this system. Social workers and other helping professionals can play an important role in supporting those at risk for entering the criminal justice system and those that have previously entered this system.
There are many challenges facing individuals with disabilities that can make them vulnerable to incarceration. Behaviors that may contribute to putting them at risk for incarceration include:
- Perceived antisocial behavior,
- Challenges picking up social cues, and
- Challenges with verbal and nonverbal messages.
