Summary
This completed study tested a program called RISE (Resiliency in Stressful Experiences) for young men ages 18-35 leaving state prisons in Florida. The program combines trauma counseling with practical help like housing and job support. Researchers measured whether participants had better housing stability, employment, and mental health, and whether they were less likely to return to prison.
