Updates for Community Corrections in Dane County, WI

On Wednesday, January 16,  we had a very productive meeting with two combined units at Community Corrections in Madison , WI to discuss The Demeter Foundation advocacy and program/services updates, including workshops that are being based on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Eight Dimensions of Wellness. Over 75% of the attendees knew who we were and had very positive things to say about us including, "We know when a woman contacts you, you will get back to her right away and continue with your support." "The Welcome Home Kits are so valuable." It was suggested that we give a brief meeting presentation to all units/neighborhood offices or at the next unit supervisors meeting. We are part of the solution to support women coming home from prison. It's about the WHOLE person, not just their incarceration!
