In this episode of The Table, we dive into the challenges and opportunities surrounding youth re-entry in Michigan. How do young people transition back into their communities after time in a detention or residential facility? What support systems are in place to help them succeed?
Joining us is Dr. Paul Elam from the Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) to discuss their Juvenile Re-Entry Program. Tune in as we unpack the importance of wraparound services, the role of community-based care, and how recent juvenile justice reforms in Michigan are shaping the future of youth re-entry. Plus, hear Dr. Elam’s insights on what more needs to be done to ensure every young person has a fair chance at a fresh start.
