Reentry Checklist For Advocates Working with Reentering Survivors

Victims of battering face additional layers of complexity including heightened risks from an abusive partner who continues to sabotage their efforts to meet sentencing conditions and the impact of compounded trauma on their ability to navigate their reentry back into the community.

This reentry checklist is designed to assist advocates in recognizing how common reentry issues may impact survivors of abuse and trauma and how to better support the reentering survivors with whom they are working. When advocates understand the challenges of reentry for survivors, they are better equipped to collaboratively work to create a more holistic reentry plan tailored to survivors’ needs.
