Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the Hamden REGIONS Center alongside Sen. Winfield and Rep. Walker to see firsthand the incredible work being done to help young men transition from life in the system to life in the community.
We had the chance to experience some of the resources available at the center, including their simulators and recording studio, and see how programs like REGIONS give youth the tools, guidance, and support they need to move forward. From reentry support and workforce development to coaching, housing, and connections to mental health and addiction services, these programs create real opportunities for young men to build stability, pursue their goals, and create new paths for themselves.
I’m grateful to the Community Partners in Action team and all of the community organizations working to make restorative justice a reality in Connecticut.
