Reentry, Grief and Loss: Addressing Unmet Mental Health Needs of Incarcerated Women

Incarcerated women leave prison with the same unmet needs that placed them at high-risk for recidivism (Scroggins & Malley; 2010).  Without appropriate comprehensive services transitioning back into society is difficult.

 

Additional programs and services including the implementation of grief and loss groups (Anderson et al., 2015; Ferszt, et al., 2009) are needed to decrease recidivism.
