Join us on September 26th to wrap up Recovery Month 2024 with a Reentry Simulation! Successful Reentry is a challenging and unpredictable process. Since each person has different individual needs, resources, and histories, we find that each person's life path is different. “Successful Reentry” is not something that happens automatically upon release, but is something which has a greater chance of occurring if the person has the tools necessary to succeed and a community willing to help navigate complex challenges.
Our aim is to represent a realistic landscape of what many individuals face when coming home. By experiencing these complex obstacles and barriers, we not only gain visibility into the individuals perspectives but also discover innovative ways to help individuals succeed.
Over the course of about 1 and 45 minutes participants experience the first month of post-release life. Each participant assumes the identity of someone being released and receives a packet of materials, including a “Life Card.” The “Life Card” explains the person's background, current living and job situation, and the specific weekly tasks that must be accomplished in order to avoid the risk of being rearrested for non-compliance with the requirements of his or her supervised release. The simulation begins with an explanation and instructions from the facilitator and participants then set out to try and navigate their new lives. Each week takes place in a 15 minute segment.
After the simulation, the event will feature lunch, expo tables from local agencies, an overdose reversal training in honor of Save a Life Day 2024, and a speaker!
