Journey to Freedom empowers individuals to shift from contemplation to action, fostering hope, motivation, and personal growth for a happier life. 8 units run over 8 weeks. This has also been delivered on a few occasions to men in Perth prison with some good results but does require funding. Both of these courses can be run in prison pre-release or at our centre.
