FIND HOUSING
Finding housing is a huge challenge for those who are getting out of jail. Mainly, you now have a criminal record, which will show up in background checks. Reach out to friends and family first. Nonprofits and church organizations are great places to seek help, too.
GET INTO A ROUTINE
When you are busy and in a routine, you will begin to find your groove and move on with life. Try to engage in the hobbies you did before. Join some social groups and clubs in your area. Try to establish a good nutrition and exercise plan. Routine will help, too, settle your mind and fend off any anxiety or depression you may be feeling.
TRY TO REINTEGRATE INTO SOCIETY
Leaving your past behind will be the key to reintegrating back into society. Discover who you are once again by following your passion and beginning to create relationships and meaningful activities once again. Try to start over, and take one day at a time.
CONSIDER A THERAPIST
Talking to others can be immensely helpful, especially if they have been in your shoes. Try a support group for those who have recently been released from prison, or even a therapist who specializes in helping those who have been incarcerated. Having tools can help you discover life once again.
