The strategy aims to promote a healthy lifestyle for released offenders and their families through comprehensive psycho-social and spiritual support. By establishing support groups and facilitating regular counseling, individuals can find a supportive community to share experiences and challenges. For example, organizing workshops on stress management and coping strategies equips participants with skills to navigate daily struggles.
Spiritual support is also integrated by partnering with faith-based organizations to offer guidance and reflection activities. Participants have opportunities to engage in meditation workshops and spiritual group gatherings, helping them find inner peace and a sense of belonging.
Educational resources and awareness campaigns aim to reduce stigma and promote healthy practices. Initiatives like informational brochures and social media promotion of positive reintegration stories help reshape public perceptions and offer education on mental health.
