The first night for our new host! The new El. This is the re-re-launch of the radio show on Blog Talk Radio! The main topics for this show shed some light on 2 excellent organizations that help people and families in distress and ignorance to what may be out there available to help us in our various places of need (please check out their websites):
REOS (Re-entry One Stop)
http://stlworks.com/ (Look for the REOS link on the page… it’s about the 6th link down in the left hand column)
The new Reentry One Stop Career Center (REOS)
will collaborate with community organizations to link persons with convictions to employment, vocational training, housing assistance, substance abuse, and health/mental health issues. The ultimate goal of REOS is to reduce recidivism. We can train and connect hundreds of offenders to employment and other services. Data has shown that offenders who are provided assistance and connected to employment do not recidivate.
REOS was initiated by a collaboration between SLATE, Missouri Probation & Parole, and U.S. Probation (Eastern District of Missouri).
