Ostara Initiative Sponsors Reentry Matters Group
This group is for women who have faced incarceration or are just being released from incarceration and inspiring motivated women. The purpose of the group is to gather as a group of women together on a monthly basis to have fun, inspire one another, learn from each other, and also come alongside those who may be struggling with reentry of everyday society. We may not all have it all individually but together we can have it and/or find collective ways to get it. The first meeting in February will be a pajama party!

About ReCAST Minneapolis
The Resilience in Communities After Stress & Trauma (ReCAST) Minneapolis Program is funded through a multi-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). ReCAST Minneapolis is intended to assist high-risk youth and families, and promote resilience and equity in communities that have recently faced civil unrest through the implementation of evidence-based violence prevention and community youth engagement programs, as well as linkages to trauma-informed behavioral health services. SAMHSA created the ReCAST Program to support communities that have lived through demonstrations of mass protest in response to police-involved shootings of unarmed African-American males.
