Presented by SAMHSA, employment for individuals reentering the community after incarceration is a critical factor in providing stability and reducing the likelihood of further criminal justice involvement, especially for individuals with mental and substance use disorders. This webinar presents three perspectives on how employment is a necessary component of a successful transition back into the community. Information about employment programming in a correctional setting will be covered, as well as recommendations for starting and running a community-based reentry employment program. Presenters will also provide insight, based on lived experience, on specific barriers to finding and maintaining employment during reentry, as well as effective approaches to overcoming these barriers.
