Summary

Serious mental illness (SMI) is a burdensome and widely prevalent public health problem among incarcerated men and women. Incarcerated individuals with SMI re-entering the community after jail stay experience the double stigma of criminal justice involvement and having the diagnosis of SMI. As a result, they are likely to disengage with community level mental health, medical care and substance use services at re-entry. This study proposes the development and pilot test of peer navigator intervention to increase linkages to community level mental health, medical care and substance use services.
