The Reason:

“Leaving the Cocoon” was established in 2003 due to a lack of mentoring for female ex-offenders.  Upon leaving prison, many fall prey to the world.  Communities have a tendency to make these ladies feel even worse.  They are shunned and looked down on because they have served time.

In general, our society can be harsh.  “Good girls don’t get into trouble.”  This attitude hurts those who are reentering society, those trying to make a better life, and change the course they had previously been traveling.  So, we can sit back and hold fast our judgments... or we can do something to help.  We choose to help and have now expanded to help men as well by forming  Leaving To Conquer, a part of Leaving The Cocoon.

Leaving The Cocoon now offers Counseling & Mentoring for Men
