We AIM to improve social structures and social attitudes, values and behaviors in which Returning Citizens interact, work together, collaborate, and cooperate with others.
Our families have endured generations of structural racism, income and wealth inequality, and the devastation that mass incarceration has caused our communities. Helping families heal post incarceration with our non-clinical mental health component has made a difference in our lives.
