Support Groups at Second Chance Services

At Second Chance Services, we understand that navigating the complexities of the criminal justice system can be an isolating and overwhelming experience. It’s a journey that no one should have to take alone. That’s why we offer dedicated support groups designed to provide a safe, understanding, and empowering space for individuals at different stages of their journey.

Our Weekly Support Groups

We host two distinct support groups every week, tailored to meet the unique needs of our community members:

1. Pre-Sentencing Support Group

– Who It’s For: This group is for individuals who are in the midst of legal proceedings and are facing the uncertainty of sentencing.

– What We Offer: Our pre-sentencing support group provides a platform for participants to share their experiences, seek advice, and receive emotional support from others who understand what they are going through. The group also offers guidance on how to prepare mentally and practically for the next steps in the process.

2. Reentry Support Group

– Who It’s For: This group is designed for those who are transitioning back into society after serving time.

– What We Offer: The reentry support group focuses on helping individuals rebuild their lives, offering support and guidance on issues such as employment, housing, relationships, and mental health. It is a space to connect with others, share challenges, and celebrate successes on the path to reintegration.

Join Us

Our support groups meet weekly, and participation is free of charge. Whether you are facing the uncertainty of sentencing or navigating the complexities of reentry, we invite you to join our compassionate community. Together, we can support each other in overcoming challenges and building a future full of promise and possibility.

What You Can Expect

Our support groups are informational and non-clinical self-help gatherings. They are led by facilitators who have personal and professional experience with the criminal justice system, ensuring that participants receive empathetic and relevant support. Here’s what you can expect from our sessions:

– A Safe and Confidential Environment: We prioritize your privacy and foster a respectful atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to share openly without fear of judgment.

– Peer Support and Mentorship: Connect with others who have faced similar challenges and gain insights from their experiences.

– Resource Sharing: Learn about tools, strategies, and resources that can help you navigate your current situation and plan for the future.

– Empowerment and Encouragement: Our goal is to help you build confidence and resilience as you work towards a brighter future.
