Voices for a Second Chance mission – VSC is part of a comprehensive reentry program that provides culturally appropriate, trauma informed, gender/population specific, and peer-based services. We utilize interventions to create connections between reentry providers and the justice involved individual. VSC promotes participation and empowerment of men, women, their families and members of their support network in developing care plans based on their self-identified needs. We accept and provide referrals for primary medical care, support, mental health and substance abuse services. We focus on justice-involved individuals affected by generational trauma, incarceration, chronic illness, not in a system of care and/or in need of support. Our goal is for our clients to achieve a state of well-being or and care as they transition from incarceration to community.
