"Outstanding job Lauren. I have received nothing but very positive comments about your presentation, which does not happen very often. Forensic evaluators can be some critical folks."
Every engagement draws on frontline forensic evaluation, federally funded research, and hands-on leadership of statewide forensic programs.
Design, implement, and evaluate forensic mental health programming: competence restoration, diversion, and crisis response, with measurable outcomes built in from day one. Dr. Kois directs Alabama's REACH Competence Restoration Program, spanning community- and jail-based services, and co-directs Alabama FARE, a statewide forensic training clinic and program evaluation partnership.
Evidence-based CE trainings and workshops for clinicians, attorneys, and judges, from competence to stand trial and unrestorability determinations to risk assessment and feigning. Trusted by SAMHSA's GAINS Center, NASMHPD, the Judicial Council of California, and federal public defenders.
Data-driven guidance for agencies and jurisdictions navigating the competence crisis: waitlists, capacity, restoration models, quality improvement, and the metrics that matter.
Collaborative research, program evaluation, and grant development, informed by nearly $2 million in funded research as PI or Co-PI, including multiple Bureau of Justice Assistance awards.
Tell us about your system, your program, and the challenge in front of you. A short intake conversation. No forms, no fuss.
We dig into the data, the workflows, and the context. What's actually driving the problem, and what would "better" look like?
A scoped plan with deliverables, timelines, and outcomes you can defend to your board, your court, or your funder.
We do the work, and we build your team's capacity to sustain it long after the engagement ends.
"Dr. Kois did a phenomenal job in describing how competency pops up in this population and the issues in professionals misunderstanding the legal backing behind competency."
"It was so nice to hear from someone on what a good eval should look like, and helps us shape our work with competency in the future!"
"Truly wonderful to have spent these hours with such impressive instructors."
"This was an important discussion about an underserved area in our field. These resources will be incredibly helpful for both jail-based and community restoration services."
"Extremely valuable. Even though I have worked in this area for a while, it was really helpful to hear about the larger, systemic issue."
