Whole Person Care (WPC) Reentry Program
In partnership with LA County Health Agency, Dr. Barnert is adapting the successful Transitions Clinic model developed for reentry adults, to assist recently incarcerated transition age youth link to needed health services and reduce substance use disorder relapse and recidivism. This adaption is informed by Dr. Barnert's prior research on the needs of incarcerated adolescents. The intervention, called the "Whole Person Care (WPC) Reentry Program" will consist of community health workers (i.e. network coaches) who are formerly incarcerated and formally trained in care coordination and social network coaching, who interact with justice-involved transition age youth pre- and post-release to increase youths' engagement in community SUD and mental health services. Participants in this branch will include youth exiting the adult justice system (ages 18-24).
Whole Person Care (WPC) Reentry Program: Social network intervention to provide care coordination and social support during youth reentry.
