Alternatives To Incarceration (ATI)

Fill out the form below and let us know how we can assist you.

In October 2020, Exodus launched an Alternatives-to-Incarceration (ATI) program. ATI programs last 4, 6, or 12 months depending on court mandate obligations. At the core of the program is trauma-informed Transformative Mentoring groups. Our Transformative Mentoring groups are infused with the Sanctuary Curriculum S.E.L.F. that covers the four interactional domains fundamental to all healing: Safety, Emotional Management, Loss, and Future. Participants use the SELF Model to review places where their safety was at risk, what emotions were experienced during the situation, what losses or changes were experienced as a result of the situation, and how to move forward in the future.

Coupled with Transformative Mentoring programming is a wide array of service offerings designed to meet the person’s holistic needs in order to reach their true potential. Civic Engagement workshops are designed to educate, engage and empower individuals to be civically engaged and create meaningful social change in their own communities. Leadership Development workshops teach participants the professional skills needed to strive both personally and professionally. Workshops around effective communication, conflict resolution, taking responsibility, self-reflection, and collective leadership will help participants achieve their daily, short-term, and long-term goals. Workforce Development and Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment are offered throughout the duration of ATI programming.
