Examining the strengths and challenges of a Smart Reentry Program: Lessons learned.\u00a0<em>Journal of Social Service Research<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although reentry programming has grown, little is known about the process of developing reentry programming that utilizes peer support. Peer support is commonly utilized along side evidence-based practices in other service delivery areas (e.g., mental health), and is increasingly used during reentry, yet little is known about whether this practice is effective at reducing recidivism. This study examines a Smart Reentry program in an urban, Midwestern city. Drawing on 18 interviews with peer guides and family support specialists across two time points, and program participants at one time point, the authors examine the challenges and strengths related to staff training and development, program culture, and participant engagement. Results demonstrate the strengths of a family-centered model of reentry programing, and the challenges of working with the department of correction staff and paraprofessional peer guides within a professional environment. Suggestions are offered for programming utilizing similar models of paraprofessionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/380472520_Examining_the_Strengths_and_Challenges_of_a_Smart_Reentry_Program_Lessons_Learned\">Link to publication<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romain Dagenhardt, D., Sharif, S., Belasco, E., &amp; Topitzes, J.
