On May 30, 2026, On The Way Home Reentry hosted our Family Reentry Workshop, bringing together families, support persons, service providers, volunteers, and community partners to strengthen successful reentry through education, resources, and connection.
The results show why this work matters:
✅ 16 attendees, speakers, volunteers, and partners participated
✅ 12 pre-workshop surveys completed
✅ 10 post-workshop surveys completed
✅ 90% of post-survey respondents rated the workshop “Excellent”
✅ Participants reported increased confidence in:
• Understanding the reentry process
• Supporting a loved one coming home
• Finding housing, employment, and support resources
• Accessing healthcare and insurance
• Understanding overdose prevention and Narcan
• Knowing their rights during reentry
Participants told us the most valuable parts of the workshop were the resources, community connection, lived experience, speakers, and practical tools they could use right away.
One participant shared:
“The feeling of being in community with people who have shared interest.”
This workshop confirmed what we already know: families need support, information, and community as they walk alongside loved ones returning home.
Thank you to every participant, speaker, volunteer, and partner who helped make this event possible. Together, we are building stronger families, safer communities, and better reentry outcomes.
No One Comes Home Alone.
