The program is designed to provide a supportive place for participants to explore the journey they’re on with their gender transition. The program consists of a Women’s Program Series and a Men’s Program Series, each designed to address the unique challenges faced by offenders during incarceration. Components include setting out on my path, emotional transition, social transition, medical transition, and looking forward. The program also includes interactive videos that can be utilized during program delivery. |
