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 who are in a Washington County correctional facility 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 and stay home for good. Contact us today and let us know how we can help. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/27fb56_3a27a1bfd8934c0790bdb9fb40d6236a~mv2.png 301-936-5804 https://static.wixstatic.com/media/27fb56_f49e21e566a84fab89af62ce463febb3~mv2.png gatekeepers.wcmd@gmail.com (mail:gatekeepers.wcmd@gmail.com)
