Fulton County Job & Family Services Revamps Second Chance Resource Program

January 15, 2016Updated:November 30, 2016No Comments2 Mins Read

(Wauseon, OH) — Fulton County Job and Family Services is revamping their second chance resource program for persons who have recently been incarcerated and released. The new program, “Re-entry Connection,” formerly known as “Beyond the Offence,” will focus on one-on-one meetings with a trained facilitator from Job and Family Services.

Linda Fisher, program coordinator, notes “After review of the program for the past year, we feel that we can be most effective in a one on one, confidential and personal setting.” Fisher stated that she is excited about the opportunities that exist with the new format in 2016 and has built great relationships with organizations who are ready to help offenders and their family members with barriers they may have transitioning after their release. “I’m looking forward to building off the success we’ve already had with the program,” Fisher states. 41% of individuals who participated in the program have found employment with the remaining continuing to seek employment while working on resume skills and other barriers.

Some of the barriers that persons may face when they are released from incarceration are lack of transportation, financial difficulties, absence of a diploma, job seeking skills, mental health and substance abuse. The Fulton County Child Support Enforcement Agency continues to work with area agencies and partners to help make this program successful.

For more information about accessing the program, contact Linda Fisher at 419-337-0010, ext. 1842 or email at linda.fisher@jfs.ohio.gov
