Description
The Department of Correction (DOC)is seeking to partner with a horticultural therapy organization with experience and a distinctive knowledge based approach in working with justice involved individuals. The DOC wishes to leverage this partnership to create pathways to education, skill development and job training in horticulture as well as building participant self esteem and empowering individuals to enter the growing field of green jobs post release. In the correctional environment, horticultural therapy has been shown to reduce psychological symptoms, tension, and distress. For this reason, bringing a horticultural therapy program to the DOC is timely and connected to the 14 Point Reform agenda in two central ways: reducing in facility violence and creating sustainable paths to employment in order to reduce recidivism.
