Event Details, Times, & Venues

The PA Reentry Coalition is pleased to announce our Inaugural Public Health Initiative

Trauma, Resilience & Reentry: Time to Thrive!

This event is open to ALL community members and our program aims to provide important information, connection to community and a bridge to ongoing support and mentorship for justice impacted & justice involved individuals and their families (ages 12+). This Public Health forum will aid to develop and reinforce community-building networks for justice-impacted individuals and their larger communities. When community members understand the prevalence of trauma, they are more likely to empathize with those who have experienced it, creating a supportive network that can help prevent violence and pave a healing path for reentrants and families.

JOIN US IN OUR COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TO HEAL AND UNITE OUR COMMUNITIES!
