Reintegration Training

We all make mistakes.

Sometimes bad choices affect our health, our marriage, our career, and sometimes even our freedom. Sometimes those decisions leave you homeless with no support, or idea on how to move forward. Prison and homelessness is the harsh reality of judicial consequences for women, and men who have broken the law or have substance abuse or mental health issue.

A lot of them want to have the opportunities to learn to make new choices, gain new skills, embrace life with sustainable principles, learn to forgive and love ourselves and others and move forward with new values.

Atrisco Heritage Foundation wants to be part of its journey. We combine caring support and mentoring with educational content, to improve life skills in a context of personal accountability, and resources to ensure new choices. Our intent of the organization, and its training program consists of structured resources and referrals for reintegration support, education, and accountability.

We regard our participants like family. Every effort is made to best equip the women and men in their own journey and wellbeing. We provide trust, communication, and a non-judgment style to being a support system for them. Assistance is provided for the individuals to accomplish life goals that will empower them and to be confident to successfully reintegrate into their family, community, and society.
