Mental health needs continue after release, but services often don't. This session examines postincarceration mental health through the impact of trauma, stigma, and structural barriers. Identify gaps in care, explore community-based programs responding to those needs, and learn how the FIRE Collective connects these efforts to share best practices and strengthen support across nontraditional mental health networks.

• Describe the factors shaping the mental health of formerly incarcerated individuals
• Explain how the FIRE Collective is building a national coalition
• Evaluate how psychiatric practice can move beyond symptom management to address structural determinants of mental health
