This group of four (4) service areas, Prison Outreach, Forensic Liaison, Suburban Municipal Court Liaison and Mental Health and Developmentally Disabled (MH/DD) Unit, treats and supports individuals re-entering the community. Clients are provided mental health treatment and are linked to supports that focus on recovery and reduce their involvement in criminal activity.
