Facilitator-coordinators’ or ‘umbilical cords’: Staff experiences of supporting desistance following release from prison
While research on supported desistance is increasing, little is known about practitioners’ experiences of facilitating change following release in Norway.

A Housing First project (HF) began during the autumn of 2013 in a Norwegian city. The target group was persons who were struggling with substance-abuse and mental-health problems and who lacked housing. The HF model h…
