I am the founder and Director of the REST Philly Project, established in 2000 under the leadership of Mayor John Street. I was hired by the mayor and brought to Philadelphia from Las Vegas Nevada were I had established two community based counseling centers in public housing for those reentering society from prison or long term drug treatment residential programs. We provided full counseling and related services also to client families including children. I was tasked in Philadelphia to establish a faith-based reentry program for the city by providing counseling service to inmates in preparation for release and community faith based AFTER-CARE counseling services upon there reentry. These service will be offered at local Philadelphia Churches. Our goal is to also to provide Healing therapy for traumatized family members of inmates, ex-offenders and addicted populations who are clients of the REST Philly Project, with an emphasis on their CHILDREN.
