ASKING FOR HELP
Addiction, depression and anxiety, imprisonment are all hugely isolating and men and women often lose the ability to ask for help or the knowledge of where to find positive support and guidance. NewConnections aims to provide practical help with housing but also therapeutic support, which may be residential rehabilitation, and assistance with training, volunteering, preparation for work and finding work.
FREEDOM CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
Many ex-offenders leave prison still isolated and without social or professional support. We provide that support through continuity of therapeutic support inside and outside prison from our counselling and mentoring staff. Our team of volunteers, most of whom have personal experience of addiction, prison or both are available to all our clients. Finally we urge all our clients to become actively involved in fellowships like AA, NA and others where they find shared experience as well as guidance and support.
