This project is a partnership between NASHP and The Health Reentry Project (HARP).
NASHP, in partnership with The Health and Reentry Project (HARP), is hosting a Learning and Action Network to support state officials from across health and human services, behavioral health, corrections, and public safety to exchange information, best practices, and resources as they advance aligned reentry policies and programs. The Learning and Action Network will focus on policies and strategies to meet the health and social needs of individuals leaving incarceration with a particular focus on how Medicaid, health and behavioral health systems, and the corrections system can coordinate to reach these goals. This network will provide a platform for facilitated peer learning through conversations every other month and communication via a listserv between meetings.
