CENTRE FOR PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS Life after Prison
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Leaving Prison can be daunting especially where there is no family support. Many ex-prisoners develop PTSD, damaging their chances in life. We help ex-offenders to re-enter society by providing a therapeutic online community to reduce the risk of re-offending, improve rehabilitation and provide mentorship to those who have no access to any tools for change. We also provide restorative justice and mediation in order to build bridges into society where prior relationships have broken down.
