THE DAMASCUS APPROACH

REENTRY BEGINS BEFORE RELEASE

At Damascus, we believe successful reentry begins long before an incarcerated individual walks through the prison gates. Preparing for life after incarceration requires meaningful preparation, personal growth, practical skills, and positive relationships that can continue beyond release.

Our approach helps incarcerated individuals prepare for the transition from an institutional environment back into family, social, and community settings. Through trauma informed programming and evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy, participants are given opportunities to develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior while strengthening character and prosocial skills.

We recognize that the journey back into society can involve challenges related to trauma, abuse, anger, mental health, addiction and recovery, parenting, employment, social skills, and family relationships. Our programs are designed to address these areas while helping men build a stronger foundation for life after incarceration.

Volunteer based mentorship is also an important part of the Damascus approach. Mentors provide encouragement, accountability, and positive relationships before and after release, helping create continuity throughout the reentry journey.

OUR APPROACH

BUILDING THE FOUNDATION FOR LASTING CHANGE

Damascus takes a holistic approach to reentry by addressing the experiences, behaviors, skills, and relationships that can influence a person’s ability to successfully return to society. Our approach combines trauma informed programming, evidence based CBT, and volunteer mentorship to support meaningful personal growth before and after release.

TRAUMA INFORMED

We recognize that trauma and difficult life experiences can shape behavior, relationships, and decision making. Our trauma informed approach creates an environment where participants can address these challenges while developing healthier ways to respond and move forward.

EVIDENCE BASED

Damascus uses an evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy curriculum to help participants examine patterns of thinking and behavior. This approach supports the development of healthier decision making, stronger character, and prosocial skills needed for life beyond incarceration.

MENTORSHIP-DRIVEN

Meaningful relationships are an important part of successful reentry. Volunteer mentors provide encouragement, accountability, and consistent support before and after release, helping participants build positive connections as they transition back into their families and communities.

From surviving to thriving.
From incarceration to transformation.
