Reducing Recidivism Conference
Reducing Recidivism Through Successful Reentry Conference
Our Endeavor:
To provide resources and training opportunities to community providers working with
returning citizens who are Trust Beneficiaries.
Staff expertise and specialized training continues to be the most important provider need to increase the capacity to serve reentrants experciencing brain-based disorders. The Disability Justice Initiative at the Center for Human Development receives support from the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority to identify and provide resources to build skills and capacity for community providers to further serve returning citizens who are Trust Beneficiaries.
