Support for life after release

By Anna Schwaller | Project Assistant

"From probation to work"
"From probation to work"

The "From probation to work" project offers group activities and individual counselling for prisoners during their probation period. The work supports the continuation of a crime-free life after release. The activities during the probation period can take different forms. For example, a person can take part in a variety of group activities and then move on to other employment activities or vocational training while still in prison.

At the same time, a coaching model is offered for the transition phase. This prepares people for working life and provides individualized support, with activities tailored to the needs of each participant. The main aim of the coaching model is to simplify the transition phase after release. Each participant has the opportunity to take part in various activities prior to discharge that support their future working life. 

The first experiences are very encouraging! The practical approach and the strengthening of skills in working life are perceived as important. The peer support is very much appreciated by the participants! As the project has been so successful so far, it will be extended to the greater Helsinki area in the future!

Thanks to your donation, we can provide practical support to people in difficult phases of their lives. THANK YOU!
