Supporting Women Exiting Prison
If you have been in prison or are just about to be released, we can support you to build your confidence, self-esteem and become active in your community.
How can the program assist me?
We can assist you to feel more connected to and active in your community through:
- the Women About social and recreational program, which facilitates group and individual activities
- a short-term (3 month) case management support program, which can assists you to resettle back into the community and refer you to specialist services
- personal development workshops.
