Hello all,
This week we are discussing the difficulties people face in reintegrating into society after incarceration, a situation which impacts every aspect of their lives, including mental health.
How does it feel to reenter the world with a felony charge on your back and a parole officer watching your every move? Ever been asked on an employment questionnaire whether you have a criminal record? What happens if you say “yes”?
Watch this video describing the challenges imposed on people who are leaving prison.

8 Things to Know About Depression and Anxiety
Hi all,
This week we have an article to read instead of a video. It’s short though, so we can read it together if you don’t get to it before the meeting.
The article is “I Have Depression and Anxiety – 8 Things I Wish People Knew About It.”
Please bring your thoughts and questions to the discussion.
Warmup question: Tell us two boring but unlikely-to-be-known facts about yourself.
