David Geiger:

With grant funding from the New Jersey Policy Lab, the New Jersey Reentry Corporation and the Rutgers University Newark Center for Applied Appreciative Inquiry are sponsoring a process to develop a policy platform for the improvement of mental health and addiction treatment services and supports for Justice-Involved individuals in New Jersey. Our plan is to engage the voices of the mental health and addiction treatment community of service providers, advocates, justice professionals, academics, and those with relevant life experiences in this important endeavor.

We invite you to participate in ONE of four ZOOM SOAR Forums (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results) facilitated by Dr. James Davy of Rutgers University, to offer your valuable public policy ideas to improve and transform the breadth of mental health and addiction treatment services for Justice-involved individuals. May 2, 3, 2024.

We consider your voice to be critically important to the transformation of the system of supports and services for Justice-Involved individuals. We ask that you please register for one of our sessions. You should expect to spend approximately 1 to 1-1/2 hours from your busy schedule for this important forum.
