(RCSG) has discovered the resilience of trauma acquired as a result of long-term incarceration. Such an invisible condition regularly threatens re-entry in terms of personal and family relationships as well as interaction at jobs. In addition to the 3 programs described in Form 990 EZ, part III, RCSG hosts weekly sessions open to all returning citizens in the community to share their experiences, difficulties and successes. These meetings provide vital and recurrent support; they are a crucial part of our re-entry support.
