WARSAW— The Kosciusko Leadership Academy, in partnership with LITE (Living in Transition Effectively), Regional Recovery Hub, will host a Kosciusko Re-entry Simulator, an enlightening event designed to foster empathy and raise awareness of the challenges faced by those re-entering society after incarceration.
The event will be on April 17 at Cardinal Services in Warsaw from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The simulator, part of a White Paper project, aims to immerse participants in the real-life obstacles that individuals face when transitioning back into the community.
Through role-playing experiences, attendees will gain valuable insights into the difficulties surrounding employment, housing, and accessing support systems, ultimately helping to cultivate a more understanding and supportive environment for those re-entering society.
Leading this initiative are key team members: Rochelle Taylor-Peer Supervisor at LITE Recovery, Ryan Neese-Vice President and Manager of Data Analytics at Lake City Bank; Jacki Pawski, MPM-Community Living Director at Cardinal Services of Indiana; and Sean Bergsma. Their collective expertise and dedication to community improvement underscore the importance of this event.
A complimentary lunch, generously provided by Salvatori’s, will be available to all participants, ensuring a fulfilling experience both in knowledge and nourishment.
Community leaders, organizations, and members of the public are encouraged to attend and contribute to this important conversation. Together, we can work towards a more inclusive community that supports individuals during their critical transition period. Registration is through Eventbrite.
