Incarcerated individuals experience a wide range of losses that can lead to complex grief. The culture of incarceration does not often support the expression and processing of this grief. Working with, and continuing to manage, grief is an important part of healing and successful reintegration into the community.
Join Mel Dawson, Reentry Coordinator at Greater Falls Community Justice Center and Sacred Grief Facilitator, for an evening of intimate stories shared of the grief experienced by Incarcerated men housed at Southern State correctional facility in Springfield VT. Engage with Mel and fellow community members in an open dialogue about these experiences to learn more about the specific needs of locally incarcerated men and how you can support them through a variety of volunteer opportunities.
