Integrated care models can reduce crisis-driven treatment and improve long-term health outcomes. This session explores how primary care–mental health integration principles can apply within correctional health care settings. Participants will examine practical strategies that strengthen chronic disease management, continuity of care, behavioral health integration, and prevention-focused treatment for justice-involved populations.
