Description

Our interprofessional team of medical, occupational therapy, pharmacy students and faculty created harm reduction kits to support the reentry of Cumberland County Jail (CCJ) residents into the community and provided supportive resources to correctional officers. As part of this project, we held a focus group with CCJ residents and staff, collaborated with leaders of local community organizations, provided a wellness event for correctional officers, and led a harm reduction kit packing event.
