OVERVIEW
Workshop 6 delves further into the difficulties and reality of life after being released from custody from the perspective of how it is to reintegrate yourself back into your community.
This is particularly important because nobody speaks about the mental health challenges faced when coming back home. Young people need to understand the full picture so they see the overall effect of a prison term.
Participants will understand how difficult it is to return to society after being in prison.
