There are 15,000 women incarcerated in Florida.
When women are released they are looking for ways to transition into communities to create stability and alternative lifestyles. Often times they are not connected with children and family immediately. ReStarting life outside may require adapting to a new mindset, habits, technology, locations, and skills.
ReStart Ministries has developed programs to meet women where they are. We provide life-changing employability and life skills, financial literacy, and mindset training.
