Forensics Task Force

Co-Chairs: Jordan Wolfsohn, PsyD

The focus and mission of this task force is to bring Colorado’s forensic psychologists and supportive others together in the interest of identifying needs and promoting change within the state’s forensic mental health system.  Successful initiatives have included testimony at the house and senate, which ultimately resulted in obtaining privileges for qualified forensic psychologists to conduct sanity evaluations (as opposed to the previous legislation limiting those to only psychiatrists). Subsequently, this task force also successfully changed the decades old cap on rates for qualified forensic psychologists who perform certain types of specific forensic evaluations. Future goals include improving re-integration and adjustment of mentally ill offenders into the community, improving the quality of court related professional activities that involve forensic psychologists, and bringing forensic psychologists across Colorado together for dialogue pertaining to issues that affect our work.
