Life After Incarceration – More Info

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.

Warmup: What is one object you own that you should give away or discard, but probably never will?

Taking a Mental Health Day from Work

Hello everyone.

This Thursday, at Stronger Together, I would like to suggest that we begin with a discussion question: “Describe a time when you remember feeling relaxed or at peace.”

Then for the mental health discussion, I would like to facilitate us talking about “Mental Health Days,” using this brief news article about a school district in central Texas as a starting point.

Remember that you are loved, and we hope to see you on Thursday evening. You are not alone; we are stronger together.

In Christ,

James
