    MATFORCE: Working Together to Reduce Substance AbusePrescott AZ (July 13, 2021) – Yavapai Reentry Project, a project of MATFORCE, is excited to offer community members 3 events this summer focused on volunteer opportunities and a chance to understand the barriers that a person returning from incarceration might encounter.

    John Morris, Chief Adult Probation Officer for Yavapai County Adult Probation and longtime MATFORCE Board Member, said, “It’s important to understand the barriers formerly incarcerated individuals face when returning to our communities. If we can identify, understand, and address these barriers early before they are released, those individuals are more likely to have a smoother transition back home. This means they are less likely to reoffend, more positively engaged in their life; thus, making a healthier and safer community for us all.”

    Below is a list of classes. For more information about any of these events please visit YavapaiReentryProject.org.

    Become a Community Coach
    Are you interested in serving as a volunteer guide or mentor for someone reentering the community after incarceration? Consider becoming a Community Coach.

    Receive free training to learn needed skills for working one-on-one in helping provide referrals, emotional support and resources for community members returning from incarceration. No experience, prior qualifications, or education is needed. All that is needed is the desire to help!

    The next class is Tuesday, July 20th, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm and is virtual through Zoom. Visit YavapaiReentryProject.org/events-news to register today to learn how you can become a Community Coach and become a partner in hope.

    The Politics of Pain

     

    The Politics of Pain

    If there’s one thing nearly every living organism on this planet shares, it is the ability to feel pain. The pain of hunger. Of loneliness. Of illness. The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
