Someone I know is being released soon. What can Gatekeepers do to help?

Incarcerated individuals typically return to the community totally unprepared to thrive. While the community may in fact offer a variety of useful services, these are not necessarily organized or oriented to formerly incarcerated persons. Gatekeepers establishes relationships with individuals before their release and collaborates with them throughout the transition process. We will help them navigate day-to-day choices in order that they can regain a footing to move forward. Contact us today and let us know how we can help or fill out the Leo Referral Form. 814-574-4354 info@gatekeepersmd.org
