Salasin Project’s Healthy Relationships after Trauma program centers on women in Franklin County who are currently or formerly incarcerated. This program offers a weekly prevention and intervention group in the jail; options for pre-release and minimum-security women to leave the jail to attend weekly groups at Salasin; and opportunities to volunteer with the Salasin Project.
Once a woman has been released from the jail she will be offered individual advocacy to assist in securing stable housing; treatment and employment; the choice of attending the Beyond Trauma Group at Salasin; and the ability to earn a stipend for assisting with support groups and outreach. After experiencing the powerlessness of being imprisoned offering these survivors choices, treating the women with respect and compassion, and furthering their leadership is paramount.
