After Incarceration: A Guide to Helping Women Reenter the Community

About the Course

Women who are recently released from incarceration face challenges for thriving in communities (e.g. safety, employment, maintaining social support). Several of these challenges are based in cultural and gender factors specific to women – particularly, women of color. This publication authored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration provides information on the nature of challenges for recently-incarcerated women and strategies for addressing each of these challenges.

This course is based on the article, After Incarceration: A Guide to Helping Women Reenter the Community created by SAMHSA in 2020.
