At the Houston Health Department's community reentry network graduation, graduate Gregory Roberson said the program helped him rebuild confidence and purpose after incarceration; program staff and graduates spoke about resilience and transformation.
The Houston Health Department's 31st biannual spring graduation for the Community Reentry Network Program included testimonies from graduates about the program's role in reintegration.
Graduate Gregory Roberson introduced himself and described his time in custody before participating in the program. "I resolved to reclaim my life," Roberson said, and credited the reentry program with providing confidence and community support.
