The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS), community partners, and community members gathered yesterday to celebrate the Pathways to Community program.
Pathways to Community is a collaborative partnership between the CCSO, CCHHS, and many other partner agencies, that provides re-entry support services for individuals leaving the Coconino County Jail. Individuals being released from custody receive immediate connection to social, behavioral, housing, transportation, and legal services.
This program maximizes the availability of resources for individuals on their release, improving their ability to re-enter our community successfully. For our most vulnerable residents, access to substance abuse treatment and prevention services, mental health services, education, employment support, housing services, transportation, social services, and healthcare are key to reintegrating in community.
This alignment of public safety, public health, and social services is an important step in healing our communities from the trauma and ongoing challenges of substance use disorder and is central to providing hope and healing.
