The Alliance and IPHCC are seeking to procure project management, engagement, and model design services for the Transitions in Care initiative that will see increased coordination and the mobilization of the community health sector and correctional facilities to support clients released from provincial corrections facilities.
The Transitions in Care project led by the Ministry of the Solicitor General is a large and highly complex endeavour. As envisioned, this project will involve the simultaneous development of local initiatives and a provincial framework for transitions in care. If successful, it will ensure that persons leaving incarceration in provincial facilities will have access to wraparound health services that include primary care, mental health care, harm reduction, social care, and access to material supports.
This is a transformative approach that will require communication and coordinated work among numerous community primary healthcare organizations and community social service agencies as well as multiple government ministries and agencies, in addition to the three sponsoring organizations – the Ministry of the Solicitor General (the Ministry), IPHCC, and the Alliance. The work will need to include people working on the front lines of care both within correctional facilities and in the community, as well as management and policymaking staff and people with lived experience of incarceration.
