Domestic Violence Prevention

The Number One goal of Prisoner ReEntry is Public Safety. One service area of the Prisoner ReEntry is domestic violence prevention. In addition, the Northwest region wanted to expand our work to support victims and survivors of domestic violence, and hold men responsible for their behavior. Prisoner ReEntry is partnering with the Women's Resource Center to increase awareness, encourage responsible and healthy family relationships, and support families with safety planning and supportive services. 

Women's Resource Center (WRC) partners with the Michigan Department of Corrections and the Northwest Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Steering Team to provide a seamless transition for men at risk of committing domestic violence. 

 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

We are working to:

• Increase safety for partners and children
• Undo negative modeling and trauma for children
• Strengthen positive visions of manhood and fatherhood

 

Women's Resource Center and Prisoner ReEntry Partnership

• End violence against women
• Encourage child well-being
• Foster responsible father involvement
• Provide social services for low-income men and women
