The theme for this year’s breakfast forum series explores changes that have occurred around the topic of health and wellness. How has the national landscape changed? A response requires public health professionals to dig deep into our roots to ensure basic needs of people are met and sound policies exist to achieve optimum health for all Minnesotans.

The forums will be in-person at the Wilder Foundation in St. Paul (new location). Check-in and a light breakfast begin at 7:30am. Forums begin promptly at 8:00am and conclude at 9:30am.

Come hear from local and statewide experts as they share programs and strategies for those who are incarcerated to transition back into life beyond correctional facilities. This forum will highlight innovative community initiatives and strategies around Minnesota that have worked in local communities…How are communities working together in creative ways to reduce recidivism, address parenting behind bars, and diminish barriers to health?  What public health strategies are being used? What are some unique programs that support families of incarcerated individuals? And how can this work be replicated or modified for success in other communities?
