WE ARE NOT DEFINED BY OUR WORST MOMENT
Most of humanity has experienced a ‘worst moment’ in life. If you’re Behind The Wall, other than a rare few, in that your worst moment, you broke the law. Business Strategist, Author and Advocate for Second Chance Hiring Jeffrey Korzenik says, “Whether through resources available in your facility or available after your release, demonstrate that you are not defined by your worst moment”. This is the case of former inmate Gabriel Santiago who took advantage of the resources and connections available after his re-entry back into society, and with the help of Mark Mitchell, the AISS Mentorship Program Coordinator, Gabe is now an AISS Volunteer Mentor and a Care Coordinator at the Stonybrook Stabilization & Treatment Center, (STCC).
