At the 25th Annual Massachusetts Suicide Prevention Conference, ForHealth Consulting’s Justice, Health, & Equity team presented “Supporting Successful Reentry Through the Community Pathways Program.”
At this workshop, our team explored the PRO: Community Pathways Program, an initiative designed to strengthen the delivery of care for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health conditions as they transition from incarceration to the community under Massachusetts Parole Board supervision. The workshop highlighted the importance of parole-community collaboration in safeguarding individuals during the reentry period. The program offers an integrated, treatment-focused framework that equips parole staff with the tools, partnerships, and clinical expertise needed to promote stability, connection, and success. Through these efforts, the program helps transform reentry from a period of risk into a structured pathway toward health and community reintegration.
