R.I.S.E. Program
The R.I.S.E. team, comprised of multiple community-based organizations, providers, and agencies, seeks to provide a comprehensive, holistic set of services including mental health support, peer recovery coaching, and care navigation for social determinants of health, based on each individual’s needs. These services are offered to individuals with mild to moderate charges being lodged at the Genesee County Jail while they are incarcerated and for up to 6 months upon re-entry. In addition to serving justice-involved individuals, the R.I.S.E. team will also serve their household to help the family heal together and increase the likelihood of long-term success for the incarcerated individual. R.I.S.E. collectively seeks to reduce recidiviscm, increase entry and adherence to treatment rates, and improve long-term health outcomes of justice involved individuals and families.
