Services Offered:

The Reintegration Roadmap model goes beyond traditional case management, offering a holistic approach encompassing:

• Assessment and Planning: We begin with a comprehensive assessment of each client’s strengths, needs, barriers, and reintegration goals. This includes collaborating with correctional facilities to access pertinent information and conducting in-depth interviews. Based on the assessment, we develop individualized roadmaps outlining personalized goals, timelines, and service pathways.
• Housing Support: Securing stable housing is a critical first step. We collaborate with community partners to assist clients in finding safe and affordable housing options, connecting them with rental assistance programs, and helping them navigate tenancy agreements.
• Employment Assistance: We provide job readiness training, skills development workshops, and resume guidance to empower clients for successful job searches. We partner with local businesses and training programs to create employment opportunities and promote fair hiring practices.
• Education and Training: Recognizing the importance of lifelong learning, we offer educational resources and support access to vocational or academic programs, helping clients upskill and increase their employability.
• Financial Literacy and Budgeting: We equip clients with financial management skills to handle debt, budget effectively, and navigate financial systems. This includes counseling on managing bank accounts, accessing income benefits, and avoiding predatory lending practices.
• Mental Health and Addiction Support: Recognizing the prevalence of mental health and addiction challenges among formerly incarcerated individuals, we provide access to therapy, counseling, and medication management services. We also offer peer support groups and community-based interventions to foster individual and group recovery.
• Family Reunification and Social Support: We facilitate reconnection with family members and support the rebuilding of social networks. This includes mediation services, family counseling, and community engagement initiatives to promote healthy relationships and integration back into community life.
• Legal Assistance: We connect clients with legal aid for issues related to expungement, parole violations, and navigating the justice system. We advocate for their rights and empower them to understand and access legal resources.
• Ongoing Support and Monitoring: The Reintegration Roadmap is not a one-time intervention. We provide ongoing support through regular case management meetings, peer mentoring programs, and access to support groups, ensuring clients feel connected and have resources to navigate challenges throughout their reintegration journey.

Client-Centered Model:

The Reintegration Roadmap operates on a client-centered philosophy. Clients actively participate in defining their goals, choosing their service pathways, and making informed decisions throughout the process. We empower them to take ownership of their reintegration journey, fostering self-efficacy and sustainable success.
