About the Conference

This conference will focus on the critical importance of early identification and intervention for individuals with complex needs within the criminal justice system. With an emphasis on collaborative approaches across the health, human services, justice sectors, and government partners, we will explore innovative strategies to address the social determinants of health that contribute to justice involvement. We are seeking abstracts that highlight effective models for intervening early to reduce risk factors, improve outcomes, and prevent further criminal justice involvement. By engaging practitioners, policymakers, and individuals with lived experience, we will examine new ways to foster cross-sector partnerships and share knowledge, tools, and best practices that can transform the system and support those at risk before they enter the cycle of justice involvement.
