Change from the Inside Out

Life Skills is a seven-week program that is taught five days a week for five hours a day inside the Union County Jail. The program educates and challenges men to live an improved life in several key areas:

• Self-identify
• Boundary setting
• Disease prevention
• Addiction recovery
• Character development
• Building and maintaining relationships
• Anger and stress management
• Goal setting, budget development
• Negative emotional issues identification and elimination (12-Step approach)
• Marriage and family relationships
• Job preparation

Initiation of Case Management

After three weeks in the Life Skills class, participation in a case management program called Total Care and Support (TC&S) is made available to each Life Skills participant. This voluntary program follows the Life Skills participant into the community where re-entry is more successful when supportive relationships are established while incarcerated via a program like Life Skills.
