Building A Personal Life Plan
Every life includes some unexpected twists and turns. For people adjusting to life after incarceration, these unforeseen circumstances are often the catalyst that leads to poor decision making and reoffending/violating terms of release. Through the course of the LifeEdit group, participants will use their session homework to develop an individual life plan that they can use to make key life decisions and stay on track following release.
You Can Be A Spark Of Hope
One essential element for success after incarceration is the hope for a different future. Many people struggle to find hope when life is challenging. For people behind bars it can be even more difficult to see a better future. When you choose to serve the incarcerated, you are an example that there are good people in the world who believe that change and a better life are possible. May God bless you for your willingness to open your hearts and share your time; we could not fulfill our mission without you.
