Bridges to Freedom Tools to Successful Re-integration
copyright 2009
Bridges to Freedom, a re-integration tool designed to help shape the lives of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. Whenever possible we build relationships with jails and prisons that will allow us to go in and facilitate our workshops with inmates prior to coming home. Once released we continue our work with individuals by providing housing, resources, and support to help complete the re-interation process until they acquire a safe passage back into society.
This program can work as 4 to 12 weeks of fun, interactive training. It is a effective tool that had its trial run in Las Vegas Nevada resulting in strong success. Its contents are life changing for men and women with or without children. This is the bridge to becoming a productive member of society, a good parent, a trusted employee, and a responsible citizen. Its components are intense but work to modify old ways of thinking. BTF is published in textbook format to make it easy for other programs to implement its corresponding workshop courses as needed.
THE WORKBOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED AND READY MAY 2013
