Description
Prison Spiritual Care has prepared the Supporting Hands of Mentor project to develop a new service that it could offer to prisoners preparing for release to help them return to normal life. The Mentoring program will be available in 4 prisons in the Czech Republic (Vinařice, Odolov, Olomouc, Jiřice) to more than 120 prisoners, to whom dozens of mentors and professionals will work during the project.
The purpose of the project is to focus on clients in predefined areas in order to enable them to successfully reintegrate into the mainstream environment. The areas we focus on within the program are - housing, employment, family relationships, management, spiritual area and mental area.
Client participation in the program is voluntary and free. We consider the individual approach and personal level of the mentor''s relationship with the client to be important. After the end of the project, we want to use the concept for follow-up activities implemented, for example, through an accredited volunteer program.
