BREAKING CYCLES SYMPOSIUM: RE-ENVISIONING A HEALTH, HOUSING, & CORRECTIONS CONTINUUM

The Breaking Cycles Symposium was a two-day event sponsored by the Department of Public Safety (PSD) and co-organized by the University of Hawaiʻi Community Design Center (UHCDC), Hawaiʻi Correctional System Oversight Commission, Correctional Reform Working Group, the Governor’s Office, and other University of Hawaiʻi Partners. 

The symposium focused on the overlapping cycles of mental health needs, substance abuse disorders, houselessness, joblessness, trauma, and incarceration. This was a broader conversation that aimed to bring people together to address these issues as a collective.
