Description
600,000 people are released from prison every year in the United States. Among them, 19,000 are released from state and private correctional institutions in Arizona. This special population requires a magnitude of services ranging from trauma counseling to case management to peer support services to navigate the reentry process. Practitioners serving this special population benefit from understanding a cluster of symptoms related to reentry called post incarceration syndrome (PICS). Understanding this cluster of symptoms can assist practitioners in developing treatment programs and client goals and objectives to specifically meet the needs of this special population. This presentation highlights the overall understanding of PICS and its impact on treatment outcomes for clients when released from incarceration. In addition to educating practitioners, information is shared about outcomes of a currently operating outpatient program designed specifically for recently released inmates facing the challenges of reentry while exhibiting post incarceration syndrome.
