A place for second chances

In 2013, Elders in Canberra came together over a shared concern about the services provided to First Nations people leaving prison. The community wanted returning members to have stronger, more culturally responsive support. They wanted people to feel safe so they could learn, work, form connections and, as a result, not reoffend. 

So they took the lead on making it happen.
