| “REVOLVING
DOOR OR REINTEGRATION?”
Help For Offenders with Mental Illness or Co-Occurring Disorders
This year NAMI Pennsylvania is proud to
include a Criminal Justice System Symposium as part of our annual
conference. The purpose of the symposium is to attract criminal
justice system professionals from all disciplines to come together
to address one of the country’s most human failures –
the incarceration of persons with mental illness who may also
suffer from a co-occurring drug abuse disorder. If you are a criminal
justice system professional and your department, office or agency
has been impacted by the number of individuals entering the criminal
justice system – this symposium is for you!
The symposium will present speakers from
law enforcement agencies, the judicial system, local and state
corrections, and probation and parole who will relate how their
agencies are impacted by this issue and what is needed to fix
the problem.
Please see the inside of this brochure
for a preview of the speakers and topics to be presented.
We would like to thank the following co-sponsors
for making this symposium possible:
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections
The Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole
