The goal of STRIDES is to maximize opportunities for long-term mental health stability with an emphasis of treating, coaching, and building pro-social supports for the participants so that they can best benefit from effective symptom management through treatment while successfully meeting the conditions of their pretrial release or completing the term of post-conviction supervision. Additionally, the program seeks to prevent recidivism, promote public safety, and assist participants with the many social, familial, and logistical issues they face so that they can be better prepared to address their needs during supervision and beyond the conclusion of that term. Through their involvement in STRIDES, the participants will gain greater sustainable independence and healthy decision-making skills to aid in the process of their life-long mental health recovery.
