Each month, SAMHSA’s GAINS Center releases a monthly newsletter in coordination with Policy Research Associates. These newsletters contain Q&A interviews with subject-matter experts, a program spotlight, new publications, announcements, resources, and the latest news in the field.
This content seeks to enrich and provide up-to-date information on the GAINS Center’s work to expand access to services for people with mental and/or substance use disorders who come into contact with the adult criminal justice system. Monthly issues focus on a broad range of communities, including but not limited to incarcerated or formerly incarcerated Black, Latino, Indigenous, Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and women.
