How do individuals become part of the Summit Bound Reentry Program?
There are four avenues into our program, all of the routes require an outside referral and application process.
DOC Home Plan
The JII's IPO or Institutional Case Manager has the prospect complete the application and submit it to the program with the required attachments.
Court Order
The court can order the JII to complete the program as a condition of probation or as a divergence. The burden to complete the program is on the JII, not on the program.
Probation and Parole
We hold a bed for P&P to place a person who is at risk and needs temporary resource help. The person is given a bed for 30 - 60 days, with case management, after which time the JII can leave or join an active cohort.
Agency Referral
In some cases, the individual may be referred to us by another community organization.
Program
The Reentry Program has many different parts and places where the participants engage. Each part of the Program is designed to provide avenues for change, open doors to new opportunities, and meet both the goals of the participant, legal authorities if required, and the program itself.
Emotionally Healthy
Why is Emotional Health a critical part of our program?
The journey toward emotional well-being equips cadets with essential tools to assess their emotional state, implement positive changes and decisions, and cultivate healthy interpersonal relationships. By focusing on this aspect of personal development, cadets can achieve growth across all areas of their lives.
Thinking for Change
What kind of CBT do you utilize in the program?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how individuals think and process their thoughts, emotions, core beliefs, and feelings within the context of decision-making. We provide instruction to cadets on improving their decision-making skills through anger management techniques and Moral Reconation Training (MRT).
Spiritual Health
Why is Spiritual Health Essential to the program?
Spiritual health is vital for our cadets’ well-being and success, providing purpose, faith in Christ, a supportive community, accountability, and a strong foundation for life's challenges. By prioritizing spiritual health, cadets are empowered to lead purposeful lives guided by Christian faith and values, even amidst adversity.
Physical Health
Is Physical Training part of the program?
Physical health is a critical component of our program's success, as it enables cadets to support themselves and their families effectively. We incorporate Physical Training (PT) into the curriculum to foster physical strength, promote positive energy, and enhance mental well-being.
Addiction Recovery
Recovery is Mission-Critical.
It is essential to offer recovery courses, counseling services, and relapse prevention strategies to our cadets to effectively address and overcome the cycle of addiction. To successfully break this cycle of criminal behavior, cadets must confront and resolve the underlying life circumstances, alongside mental health issues and trauma that contribute to their substance abuse.
Trauma Informed
Why is having a Trauma-Informed Caring Culture important?
Fostering a trauma-informed and compassionate culture is essential to our reentry program, as we acknowledge the various trauma-related challenges faced by Justice-Involved Individuals (JIIs), in conjunction with their mental health needs.
Cadres Are Essential to Reaching the Summit.
Cadets are integral members of a collective known as cadres, which are dedicated to fostering encouragement, support, and teamwork among participants. Within this cadre framework, members engage collaboratively in classes, group discussions, and various activities.
Each cadre is led by a team leader, who has graduated from the program themselves.
Members are tasked with providing leadership and guidance to their colleagues, ensuring adherence to the values and standards upheld by the group.
They are encouraged to take on leadership roles and to support and mentor their peers whenever possible.
Through their dedication and hard work, cadets help to create a strong sense of community and camaraderie within the cadre.
Cadets are expected to demonstrate a high level of commitment to their fellow members and the overall goals of the group.
By working together and supporting each other, cadets can achieve great things and make a positive impact on the world around them.
