CPR by the NIA - Conflict Mitigation & Personal Interactive Rehabilitation

Conflict Mitigation & Personal Interactive Rehabilitation Services

to help break the cycle of desperation and correct where systems fail.

What is CPR?

In the absence of strategic and comprehensive rehabilitation for public safety, CPR steps in usually when conflicts arise, and engages directly with the incarcerated person and their supportive loved ones. We help them navigate the carceral system, walking with them through challenges and helping them find focus on their development as humans.

The goals of CPR are to keep people safe while incarcerated, and to help them develop capacity and potential. It is the intensive intake system of NIA’s Restart Connector; a network of community-based support services. We pull together an otherwise disconnected web of service providers and stakeholders to create personalized long-term interventions for the individualized challenges each client faces.

CPRs Impact 2

CPR’s Impact

Since CPR’s inception, we have been able to support hundreds of personal crisis situations that otherwise end with tragic and more desperate results. At least 50% of these persons struggle with substance abuse and the majority of our clients have multiple chronic health and trauma issues. We start an accounting of these trends to help identify broader public safety and personal development failures. With enhanced seamless connectivity strategies, we continue to help restore these families along with their incarcerated loved ones, working to reduce still alarming rates of recidivism.

Prison does not rehabilitate!

Ask any person living in prison or who comes out of prison with the best intentions about some idea of comprehensive rehabilitation, and that’s their response. NIA’s CPR is built to break the cycle of ignoring those words. This program was designed from personal efforts out of the need for support and guidance after firsthand witnessing the shortcomings of carceral systems. Our all-volunteer staff is made up largely of people who have been incarcerated themselves or have a spouse or child in prison. Being able to relate to the kind of trauma one experiences in prison connects us more deeply to the needs of families, and it guides our passion to help improve systems in the best interest of public safety and community vibrancy.

About the NIA

About The NIA

Breaking Cycles of Failure

The National Incarceration Association was created out of a need that is profound amongst the families and loved ones of the incarcerated. The NIA will provide the necessary support that currently does not exist for our community. Our job is to assure our members (i.e. family members, loved ones and advocates) have current resources, swift action on emergency needs and a voice in the world that will not stigmatize us.

 

The NIA will help provide the necessary support that is still too rare in many communities. We will also allow for open and honest communication free from fear for the safety of our loved ones in order to address changes that are necessary to provide them with their basic human rights.
