CHESTNUT HEALTH SYSTEMS ESTABLISHES JEAP RESEARCH CENTER AT LIGHTHOUSE INSTITUTE
The new research center will study barriers and pathways for justice-involved adults, with work focused on recovery, reentry and long-term stability.
Chestnut Health Systems launched the JEAP Research Center to advance research into justice-involved and emerging adult pathways, operating under the Lighthouse Institute.
These two populations face a disproportionate burden regarding substance use and mental health, with individuals in the legal system at heightened risk for overdose and co-occurring disorders.
The center utilizes research, education, and cross-sector partnerships to identify effective strategies for recovery, evaluating programs to determine which approaches improve long-term stability.
By identifying effective interventions, the center aims to improve outcomes for individuals navigating the legal system, including stability in housing, mental health, and recovery.
The center carries forward the expertise and community-informed approaches developed under the organization's original initiative, ensuring the impact continues beyond the original project.
