Community Supervision
People under community supervision (e.g., probation and parole) have 2 to 4 times higher rates of mental health conditions than people who are not on supervision. In addition, many face challenges related to securing stable housing and access to health care, and they are more likely to fail during supervision if not given the tools and treatment needed to succeed.
Parole and probation departments are well-positioned to help people with behavioral health needs address these challenges and help ensure that they succeed in community supervision. With JMHCP support, these agencies can work to implement evidence-based community supervision practices, increase connections to community-based treatment, and prioritize safe and affordable housing as people reenter the community.
