The First Confidential Online White Collar and Nonviolent Support Group in the United States
If you, a friend, family member, colleague or client are experiencing a white collar or other nonviolent criminal justice issue, Progressive Prison Ministries hosts a confidential online white-collar/nonviolent support group on Monday evenings, 7 to 8:15 pm Eastern, 6 to 7:15 pm Central, 5 to 6:15 pm Mountain, 4 to 5:15 pm Pacific.
This is the first confidential white-collar/ nonviolent online support group in the United States.
This is a huge step in forming a community of individuals and families with white-collar and nonviolent incarceration issues.
Our experience shows us that many of us are suffering in silence with shame, remorse, and deep regret. Many of us have been stigmatized by our own families, friends and communities, and the business community. Our goal is to learn and evolve into a new spiritual way of life centered on hope, care, compassion, tolerance and empathy, and then to reach out to offer all those suffering from these issues. In so doing, we share our experiences, feelings and resources to help make the quality of each other’s lives more manageable.
