RTA’s transitional reentry program, Reimagining Myself®, has been featured in Corrections Today (Nov-Dec 2023; Vol.85 No.6), the leading corrections magazine produced by the American Correctional Association (ACA).

The article “The Challenge of Change” by RTA Founder Katherine Vockins highlights RTA’s newest program as a transformative solution to address the social and emotional challenges people face upon reentry to ensure a sustainable reintegration into society.

Quotes from “The Challenge of Change” by Katherine Vockins, RTA Founder:

“…Reimagining Myself® [program] provides hands-on, experiential opportunities for participants to look within themselves to discover their strengths and potential while acknowledging their individual triggers and foreseeing the pitfalls that may await them.”

“Recently launched in several NYS prisons, the Reimagining Myself® pro gram has proved to be a win/win for both the participating individuals and the prison system. It’s also a win/win for society at large, which saves millions of dollars in lower recidivism, and makes life on the street a little safer for all of us.”
