Celebrating New Partnerships 
   Creating Trauma Informed ~ Healing Centered Communities
 
We are expanding our scope of work to include working with women who are incarcerated and recently released. We are looking forward to working with #cut50 to ensure women are treated fairly and have resources in place as they reenter local communities. #cut50,­ an initiative of The Dream Corps­, is a national bipartisan effort to reduce the number of people in our prisons and jails while making our communities safer.
