Every 5 weeks, we have the privilege of celebrating a new group of graduates from the Courage to Change Interactive Journaling Program at Rappahannock Regional Jail.

This program is helping participants learn essential skills like managing emotions and resolving conflicts, setting them up for brighter futures. Hearing their stories and witnessing their progress fills us with hope and joy.

Our most recent graduates just completed the "Self-Control" sessions, and they’ve given us permission to share their milestone moment with you.

Congratulations to these inspiring individuals for taking steps toward transformation. Special thanks to our amazing facilitator, Lou Kelley, for guiding them on this journey.

Programs like this are made possible thanks to generous support from REFORM and The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region.

Let’s continue to believe in second chances and invest in education over incarceration!
