Support for prisoners
Start rehabilitation from prison with the Pathways program
10 weeks, limitless possibility
Let the journey begin
Rediscovering themselves
With them all the way
Breaking the cycle
Many people who find themselves in Bunbury Prison need help identifying the root of the problems behind their criminal offending behaviour. Some are unaware of the link between unhealthy substance use and their actions, others the negative impact that being unable to regulate their strong emotions, impulses and negative thinking can have and others that they have the power to change. While every story is different, the Pathways Program builds strong foundations and positive change.
Rehabilitation from prison is a journey of self-discovery. As participants move along the Pathways Program, they’ll be empowered to make positive behavioural changes by opening their eyes to the different factors that contribute to it. As their self-awareness grows, so too will their ability to regulate their thoughts and emotions, solve problems on their own, and communicate in a healthy, positive, assertive way.
What to expect
We get to know them
A big part of our support for prisoners is working together to understand more about the values, beliefs and interpretations they hold about themselves, their situation, and the circumstances surrounding their life choices.
We make progress, together
The Pathways Program provides support for prisoners through group sessions at Bunbury Prison, where group members are supported to identify triggers and develop appropriate relapse prevention plans.
We prepare them for the future
Working with our team, participants will feel empowered to move through a journey of change as they explore new ways of viewing situations and develop a tool kit of strategies to carry with them during rehabilitation from prison and beyond.
We see it through
Participants will be encouraged to identify Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely (SMART) goals that hold them accountable as they implement positive changes, with regular check-ins during the therapeutic relationship to monitor progress.
Our suite of services
Rehabilitation from prison takes a multi-prong approach. The Pathways Program is part of a wide range of support for prisoners Accordwest offers to inmates at Bunbury Prison, with a suite of different services designed to offer support on their journey back into their local community.
Release support for prisoners
Our Release Support program encourages participants to set their own goals that enable them to live a meaningful, impactful life they want to live.
Their story, their future
There are many reasons why good people find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Just know that at Accordwest, we believe every story matters, no matter how big or small, or who is telling it. As part of the South West community fabric since 1983, we understand that criminal offending behaviours don’t define the person, and use the Pathways Program as a platform to walk alongside participants on their journey, acting as their motivation to not go back into Bunbury Prison.
