In this second episode, Professor Goodman Sibeko is joined by Michael Chaple to explore the critical first weeks after release and what continuity of care looks like in practice. Michael discusses the challenges people face when returning to the community, including securing housing, healthcare, medication, identification, employment, transport, and social support.The conversation looks at what distinguishes a genuine warm handover from a referral that exists only on paper, and why coordination between correctional and community providers is essential. Michael also explores the role of stable housing, employment, family support, peer support, and recovery communities in successful reintegration, as well as practical approaches for maintaining continuity of care in settings with limited resources.Featured Voices Host – A/Prof. Goodman Sibeko ISSUP Global Scientific Advisor.Head of Addiction Psychiatry, University of Cape Town.LinkedIn: goodmansibekoTwitter/X: @profgsibekoGuest – Michael ChapleMichael Chaple is an internationally recognised expert in correctional behavioural health, implementation science and justice-health systems integration.
