A Re-entry Program created by
justice-involved peers
Mentor and Recovery has developed the SWAG course curriculum for men and women who are within 30 to 60 days of release. Utilizing a holistic approach, SWAG incorporates peer support, a recovery-oriented, evidence-based practice in which a “peer,” provides mentorship and support to an individual who is about to return to the community.

Peer-Approach
Peer-Support
A growing body of evidence indicates that peer support improves quality of life and supports recovery for individuals with behavioral health needs. Peer support encompasses a broad spectrum of peer-provided services, ranging from assisting with community connections and integration to more informal individual or group support sessions. All peer support, however, is founded upon the principles of mutual support, respect, empathy, empowerment, personal responsibility, and the sharing of personal stories.

Utilizing SWAG can play an important role in the pre-release process by addressing some of the potential barriers that the participant expects to face upon release. This will allow the individual to develop a Personal Re-entry Plan (PREP). this way, with the assistance of a peer, each participant can take ownership of his or her release strategy.
