Re-Entry Peer Support Group

The Project Connect Re-Entry Peer Support group is open to all men and women who have been incarcerated regardless of faith tradition or background. Group members do not have to be members of The Church of Gethsemane. The group meets following our worship service.

The Re-Entry Peer Support Group meets regularly to discuss transition issues and other concerns in their lives. Everything that is discussed is kept confidential. A wide range of topics are covered- including employment, relationship building, recidivism, problem solving and networking. Participants are encouraged to share their joys and struggles, and to learn from each others experiences. Together group members become involved in problem solving and networking, and provide feedback and support for each other.

A light meal and roundtrip transit fare is provided for each participant to cover transportation costs. Members of the group may be invited to take turns facilitating the meeting. A small stipend is provided to the facilitator.
