THE WARMLINE
The Warmline, staffed by trained individuals who have returned from incarceration, will offer callers a sympathetic listener who is skilled at talking through issues, needs, and emergencies. It will be available in the evening hours when most other reentry agencies are closed and will thus be able to respond to urgent needs and provide appropriate services to de-escalate potentially volatile situations. Next Level aims to promote the Warmline within prisons to offer support to participants before they come home.
Warmline hours of operations: Saturday & Sunday 24 hours, Monday-Friday 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
*Eligibility criteria of participants: Currently incarcerated persons returning home within 9 months, returning citizens that have returned home within 36 months, resident of the same household as the returning citizen current household relationship (i.e., mother, father, spouse, partner, child, sibling.)
NLEP Warmline: (475) 366-6044
MENS RE-ENTRY SUPPORT GROUP
The men's support group will meet weekly and be coordinated by Founder/President Ray Boyd. This will create a community in which returning citizens can come together to work through challenges. A 2019 analysis from the Harvard Institute of Politics found that support groups are an excellent way to connect reentering citizens to valuable resources. Next Level’s support group will combine the efficiency of formal connections to services with the trust built up through less formal relationships and friendships. In the long term, Next Level hopes to partner with DOC to hold support group sessions inside prisons, connecting with participants before they return to the community.
