Progress Meetings to Support Ex-Offenders
Regular progress meetings help participants reflect, set goals, and stay accountable throughout their reentry journey (and return to the community).
Group Sessions That Encourage Learning and Accountability
Group therapy at FROM EXPERIENCES emphasizes healthy lifestyles, communication, and collaboration as participants rebuild their lives. Sessions follow a psychotherapy model that focuses on emotions and past experiences. Early meetings build trust and openness, while later sessions encourage honest feedback and constructive dialogue.Our group format blends self-help principles with professional guidance, allowing participants to share experiences, learn from one another, and build “we-ness” — the collective sense of unity that drives lasting change.
