Board members heard a brief report on a recent reentry event that aimed to improve collaboration between criminal justice and behavioral health partners to reduce recidivism.
Amy Brinkley thanked partners and recounted the event’s focus on reentry supports. A presenter reported attendance and vendor participation: "Yeah, we had about 8,506 people registered, and I think altogether we had about 12 vendor booths," the presenter said (figures recorded in the transcript).
