Proposition 128

If you are registered to vote in Colorado, you now have your ballot.  There is a lot on the ballot, and no one can have all the information on everything, so we trust reliable sources to help us understand.  Restoring Connections, from its 25 years experience working with incarcerated individuals, is encouraging a NO vote on Proposition 128.

Healing our violence one relationship at a time

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence is of particular concern to all of us due to its pervasiveness. Nearly one in four women and one in nine men are victims of domestic violence according to the National Institutes of Health. Domestic violence is about control over another family member and can involve physical, sexual, emotional, economic and psychological abuse.

Healing after Suicide Loss

During these early days of the fall season, we are reviewing with all our mentors and soul care providers vital information about suicide prevention and the needs of survivors of suicide loss.  All of us can make a difference.  Relationships are important.

If you are concerned about a friend or family member who may be at risk of suicide, call or text 988.  It’s a direct connection to professional support.

Caring for Our Relationships

September is national suicide awareness month.  This is a good time to remember loved ones who have been lost through suicide and to educate ourselves proactively about risks, warning factors and how to help.  It’s also an opportunity to reflect on our own quality of self-care, how connected we are to a sense of meaning and purpose in our own lives and the importance of nurturing personal relationships.

When Denver Women’s Correctional Facility was closed to all volunteer programs due to COVID-19, we were faced with a special challenge-how to maintain an active presence to the women and to serve in a way that meets individual needs? The women do not have access to the Internet, and individual volunteers cannot correspond due to Dept. of Corrections regulations. Within days we came up with a plan.
