Our After-Incarceration Support program provides one-to-one
mentoring for individuals who are making a transition back into the
community after having been released from prison. In partnership
with the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department, we have also
established a Mentoring Center in which we provide training for
mentors, education and awareness seminars, and a central place for
aftercare resources for people re-entering the community. We also
work in partnership with the Anti-Drug Coalition, visit the Hampden
County Prison in Ludlow, and educate the incarcerated regarding the
services that are available to them upon their release.
Our hope is that through this program recidivism will decrease,
thereby providing a safer community and a stronger sense of family.
Our target groups are the newly unemployed, the terminally or
chronically ill, the homeless, people in recovery, those leaving
long-term treatment facilities, and ex-convicts.
