Celebrating Second Chance Month

The work of building a better reentry system in Kentucky is not something any one organization can do alone. Kentucky Voices for Health leads the Healthy Reentry Coalition, a growing network of directly impacted advocates, services providers, and community members committed to creating a healthier, more just path home for all incarcerated Kentuckians. Our goal as a coalition is to provide support through education and awareness of policies and share resources and events among members. This work has traditionally focused on adult reentry, but we are working to bring in more voices from across the Commonwealth, particularly those either directly or indirectly impacted by the juvenile justice system. The coalition meets every third Thursday of the month. Our next meeting is April 16th, and we would love to have you there. If you are interested in joining or learning more, reach out directly to Brittany Elam at brittany@kyvoicesforhealth.org.
