Community forensic social work aids those impacted by the justice system living in the community, including probation, parole, good behavior releases, and post-incarceration reentry.

 

For social workers, understanding that justice involvement continues beyond release into stabilization, reintegration, and recovery is crucial.

​

In community forensic social work, recovery extends beyond substance use treatment. Reentry is recovery. It involves rebuilding stability, identity, relationships, and a sense of purpose.
