Review for Transition Professionals, Hackensack, NJ, USA

Rating: 5 stars   Featured Review

Volunteering as a case manager at Transition Professionals was an eye-opening experience. I had little experience working with the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated population, and I was amazed to see the many obstacles this population encounters every day. This population is invisible and voiceless, and very few people are willing to give them a second chance: that is what Transition Professionals mean for this population. When they walk into the office, they find a group of friendly professional people willing to help and support their journey without any judgment. A safe place where they can be seen and be heard. A place where a person can be seen not only as an ex-convict but also as a father, brother, daughter, friend, and a human being who is struggling to get their life back together. Bonnie O'Brien has created a safe place where this population can find help and support to reenter their community successfully.
