Programs

Our goals are to take a holistic approach with each candidate by including family in the program. We believe that mental health is key to true rehabilitation as statistics show that all people upon entering incarceration suffer from anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges. Introducing this program to local jails/prisons is key to properly placing candidates and customizing individual development plans. We believe our initial evaluations provide a solid opportunity to determine the likely-hood of each individual wants to be prior to release.

INITIAL PROGRAMS

Implementation: Introduce the 2^nd chance Program to local prisons.

Partner with the local prisons to introduce the program and evaluate each candidate prior to release from incarceration.
Review History: Family; Prior convictions, In-House behavior; Former/In-House Education or Trades; Drug Use.
Mental Health Evaluation: Purpose is to identify any major mental health illnesses in order to direct the candidate to proper treatment once released. 45.1 Million (19.9%) Adults in the US suffer from mental illness (2009 ACA).

Housing

After initial Evaluation, Candidates that qualify receive their own apartment.

Each candidate must agree and commit to a minimum of 18 months of counseling /mental therapy in order to receive housing.

Counseling: New Perspectives

Counseling is the key component to the entire program at 2ndchances. Studies show that prison causes anxiety issues, depression, post-traumatic stress and other mental health issues that are often untreated.

At 2ndchanes, we believe Rehabilitation starts first with the mind:

Self-Forgiveness
Forgiving others
Addressing Feelings (Abandonment, Rejection, Worthlessness, Abuse)
Identifying /Addressing Triggers
