4th Tier Of the Second Chance Mans Approach. Building Second Chance Communities. Becoming that lifeline of support in prison, upon release, and post release. Creating places of support to go to continue the journey of Support/Accountability. To help and sustain the new pro social behavior.Inmates that released in Australia have little or no support. Its why we have such a high recidivism here. Or reentry back into prison. Not only this the stigmatization from the community doesn't help the healing process.Second Chance communities will reinforce pro social behavior, creating a place to go and temporary live while reintegration occurs. Continuation of the 3 tiers. Employment skills, further education in both trade and university.This is not a reinvention of the wheel.

Being tested on your path is a sign of potential growth. How you handle these tests is the application of growth.In my case, I was wet behind the ears and didn't heed the warnings the first time and paid for my actions. I was a slow learner. However, you don't have to be. The path is already laid out. But you will be tested, tempted, lured. Shiny objects come in all shapes and sizes and emotions. Anything for you to keep coming back.In this episode we journey into being constantly tested and by being challenged is important for growth. The more we resist the stronger we become.Jump on Spotify or Itunes and Search Last Chance Podcast.
