The Journey from Prison to Community
Author: Jo Shingler
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000914844
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The Journey from Prison to Community: Developing Identity, Meaning and Belonging with Men in the UK provides a practical guide for practitioners working with men to successfully make the transition between prison and the community. This transition presents significant challenges, especially for those who have served many years in prison; for those who have experienced multiple cycles of release/recall; for those whose personality traits make it harder for them to build relationships and cope with strong emotions; and for those whose lives have been characterised by trauma, chaos, crime and institutionalisation. Drawing on the authors' clinical expertise and the lived experiences of real service-users, alongside the latest research in the field, the book identifies key issues in transition and explores the impact of these issues. Crucially, it provides guidance, tools and support to professionals working with men in the UK to build a crime-free, socially integrated and meaningful life after incarceration, featuring real-life stories of those who have made the transition. This is an essential read for professionals working in a range of settings across prison and community environments, while the wide variety of professional experience represented in the book broadens its appeal to forensic and clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, probation officers, prison staff and those working in the third sector. It is also valuable resource for qualified professionals, those in training, support roles, and managers involved in planning strategy and service delivery.

The Journey to Truth is an Experience
Author: Luigi Giussani
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773576401
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
As a young priest, Luigi Giussani was troubled by Catholicism's inability to effectively deal with secularism or laicism. In 1954 he began to develop a vision of faith rooted in experience. His ideas resonated with students and led to the birth of the Gioventù Studentesca (Student Youth) movement. Known today as Communion and Liberation, the movement is flourishing in Italy and around the world, including Canada, the United States, Brazil, Uganda, and Britain. The Journey to Truth Is an Experience is the first English translation of Il Cammino al vero è un'esperienza, Giussani's early works on the Christian experience, written from 1959-64. It begins with a guide on how to live the Christian life within the Student Youth community, followed by a call to base one's relationship with Christ on the example set by the apostles and other figures in the New Testament. Giussani concludes by outlining the movement's mission and the possibility for community, charity, and communion in the Christian life.

The Journey

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
"Rooted in humorous stories distilled with bits of sagely honest advice, The Journey goes beyond the well-chronicled college admissions madness and cuts to the core of parental angst with concrete suggestions for preparing children for a competitive and rapidly changing world. Young people face an increasing medley of challenges as they pursue higher education. Amid skyrocketing tuition costs, 43 million U.S. adults hold a whopping $1.78 trillion in student loan debt. College admission is significantly more competitive than it was just a few years ago, and today's students compete with international talent for education and career opportunities. As a result, 40% of Gen Z adults live at home and have gained a "failure to launch" reputation. Many lack the skills and perspective they need to become fulfilled adults because their educational journey did not prepare them to be thoughtful, authentic, or strategic in developing and achieving their goals. Enter The Journey. Written for both parents and students, this guide is comprised of advice and personal anecdotes drawn from college admissions counselor Greg Kaplan's work. Kaplan offers sobering statistics about the lacking capabilities of the next generation and prescribes stories of parenting strategies that succeed in raising independent children to achieve their long-term goals. Emphasizing the foundational tenets of a successful adult life-grit, leadership, and passion-Kaplan approaches the college admissions process with the intent of instilling transferable skills that will carry students well into adulthood. He asks students: What do you want to get out of your college career and work career? How can you make the most of the college journey to jumpstart your journey into the real world? He asks parents: Are you preparing your children to attain a life of health, happiness, and financial independence? This book is designed to support today's youth in identifying their passions and developing the grit and leadership skills they will need to make the most of future opportunities. The Journey calls on parents to both act and refrain from acting to help their children develop into capable and independent adults and calls upon students to take control of their own futures through easy to implement steps"--

Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Excitement of Triune truth is matched by excitement of telling about Gods eternal evangelizing of me. Gods pursuit makes the common, such as the following, become a base for exciting, uncommon studies and results. Medora Junction, between small town and campus, promised changes. Shared moments of people-watching with Dad from the drug store door step, spoke of grandeur in persons. Defeated faces of two African American corporals, haunted my social concerns. Moms rocking chair rhythm of gospel singing, rocked gospels into me. Boyhood railroad adventures helped recognize adventure in theological insight. Value of professional skill was seen in Dad behind the drug store prescription screen. A summer evening walk through Medora heard feet moving to varying rhythms of gospel singing. Church bells told of the sound of Gods welcoming grace. Such common experiences support uncommon, disciplined, entertaining and exciting scholarship of professors, who presented theology of the familial, in-history, personal, relational GodFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. Their mutuality unified the workings with the natural order that provided for my coming to be, gave saving words and promises of Jesus Christ and, through the Spirit, sustained me in the present and the futurethese three in perfect concert evangelized me. An exciting story to tell.

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Most women are raised in a context of feminine values, whether they are aware of those values or not. Some of the values specific to this feminine culture are interdependence, caring, and relationality. In our time, many women cross over into a masculine value culture when they take on what were traditional male roles in male-evolved institutions. Eventually, women become aware that their own values conflict with some assumed male values. They then have to compromise and adjust in order to be productive in those environments. The women I have focused on in this study have, because of a significant external event or events and an emerging inner vision, left both structures. They then, however, lack others around them whose values structures can reinforce adherence. When these women are by themselves, they experience something like a dark night of the soul. Once they get beyond the pain and a sense of meaninglessness, they begin to realize that they can move the constructs of reality, that they can write history as well as read it. An essential concern is to deter¬mine what their values are. After this process, their own personal vision becomes clear. But the cycle isn't complete until they bring that new vision back to their people. And bringing it back in a holistic sense helps to raise the moral sights of others who are influenced by that experience.
