Department of Corrections Peer Behavioral Health Services Reentry Program

Under existing law, the department of corrections is required to develop and implement initiatives specifically designed to assist each offender's transition from a correctional facility into the community. The bill adds peer-to-peer peer support behavioral health services programs that are provided by credentialed peer support professionals or other researched-based programs as a component that may be included in an initiative.
