Peers in the Criminal Legal System: Evaluating Impact and Building Collaborative Support Networks

Cross-agency collaborative models of care, particularly when paired with linkage facilitators or Peer Support Specialists (PSSs) can effectively address health risks frequently impacting individuals with criminal and legal system (CLS) involvement. PSSs draw on their lived experience to build trust and rapport, and to help engage and support individuals in recovery. Their unique positioning enables them to bridge the gap between individuals seeking recovery and the professionals providing services within the CLS, mental health, and clinical settings. 

This webinar will outline the role of PSSs and their effectiveness in health care and CLS settings. Research on the effectiveness of cross-agency collaborations to support the population of focus will also be presented. Finally, guidance will be provided to enhance the effectiveness of peer support when working across multiple agencies.
