For individuals who are and have been incarcerated, healing doesn’t stop at the gate. Dr. Yehudah Pryce, Sr. Director of Mental Health & Well-Being Programs, (@yehudahpryce) shares how Defy’s trauma-informed programming (from our core programs, free therapy with @betterhelp, and peer-facilitated groups, like RealTalk) helps individuals, not just find a job after release, but also build a future and have a real second chance at life. Special thanks to @legalzoom for their partnership and support in making our trauma-informed programming more accessible to more Entrepreneurs in Training! (fb)

It’s #MentalHealthAwareness Month and we’re asking you why should reentry start with healing, not punishment? Because trauma is the root. Up to 98% of our program participants have experienced trauma — before, during, and after prison. Defy centers healing and purpose, and through our trauma-informed approach supports mental wellness. Discover how we’re using entrepreneurship, peer support, and the Well-Being Development Model to change lives! 👉 Learn more. Share the mission. Break the cycle. #MentalHealthAwareness #ReentryMatters #TraumaInformedCare #DefyTheOdds #CriminalJusticeReform #EntrepreneurshipForChange (fb)
