Addressing the Health and Social Needs of Justice-Involved Young Adults

This webinar outlines research on the effectiveness of the Transformative Justice program in reducing criminal justice recidivism and improving health outcomes by coordinating health and social services for justice-involved young adults.

Involvement with the criminal justice system increases markedly during the transition from youth to adulthood in the United States. Providing targeted services and supports to vulnerable emerging adults during this transition may be an effective way of reducing the conditions and behaviors that lead to incarceration and its adverse health effects.
