SCM’s Aftercare and Support Program
The Aftercare and Support Program functions as a case management follow-up programs for the transition of our clients and ex-offenders. SCM’s Aftercare program is offered in week 3 of the 7 week Life Skills program provided in
the jail but, is extended to all ex-offenders of the Union County and Stanly County Jail. This client initiated program provides a teamwork approach utilizing trained volunteers and community partners to assist in a participant’s
re-entry into society. Our care involves spiritual guidance, clothing to exit the jail, fulfilling our clients food insecurities and homelessness, substance abuse challenges, job placement for felons, mental health counseling, setting
educational goals, connecting with a local church, or reuniting with estranged family members. SCM’s specialized children’s program “Shine”, mentors, supports, and empowers children fostering resiliency and meeting the challenges
head on caused from parental incarceration or addiction.
Although, our individual clients have to make the effort, we are there to encourage them and their families the whole way.
