RESOLANA develops and implements programming for women in state prison, county jail, and in reentry. Classes such as My Story/My Self, Anger Management, and Emotional Literacy help incarcerated women change life-long attitudes and behaviors. The Survivors and Grace and Grit classes educate the women about issues related to trauma and substance abuse. Substance abuse, trauma and mental health are three critical, interrelated issues in the lives of women offenders. Short-Timing, Financial Literacy, and Parenting classes teach real-life skills that help make their transition to life after prison more successful. Multi-disciplinary arts programming in workshops and classes validates the significance of the women’s own experiences and voices, while building community. Community partners like the YWCA, Family Place, and AIDS Interfaith Network, bring the expertise and resources of other organizations to the women and establish connections for when the women return to their communities.
