Community Supervision

Probation and parole agencies can improve the health outcomes of individuals with behavioral health needs under community supervision and reduce recidivism by strengthening partnerships with community-based organizations. This includes removing common barriers, such as transportation and wait times, by embedding treatment providers and case managers within the community supervision agency. Co-locating peer support workers within the community supervision agency is also an effective way to build recovery support. For individuals entering community supervision upon release from a correctional facility, coordinating a warm handoff and supporting continuity of care are critical. Finally, officers can reduce the risk of overdose death by offering onsite access to naloxone and other harm-reduction services.
