About Us

Program Overview

Successful Transition and Reentry Series
The S.T.A.R.S. Program (Successful Transition and Reentry Series) provides structured support for women transitioning back into the community. The program focuses on stabilization, employment readiness, mental wellness, and overdose prevention.
