Self-Reflection
Is This Program Right for You?
Take a moment to reflect honestly on these questions
- Are you a woman who has recently been released from jail or prison and is looking for a safe place to begin again?
- Do you want to make the kinds of changes that will lead you to become the woman you were always meant to be?
- If you allow yourself to try again, are you ready to receive the tools we have to offer?
- Are you willing to put in the work required to become a self-sufficient, productive member of society and leave behind the things that once held you back?
Do you want to learn to fly again?
If so, Byrd’s Nest is the place for you.
