Kairos Outside - Midland Newsletter October, 2011

Transcription

1 Kairos Outside - Midland Newsletter October, 2011 Kairos Outside Kairos Outside is designed to support the female loved ones of men and women who are incarcerated in state and federal correctional facilities, as well as county jails and youth offender programs. We believe that the families of the incarcerated are "doing time" right along with their loved ones. Kairos Outside is designed to let those families know that there is a community that cares about them and their needs. Loved ones invited to participate are called Guests. Guests share with each other how the incarceration of a loved one is affecting family life. This weekend is a way to help strengthen the family unit and encourage small support groups for these women on the outside. We provide a secure place for women to share their struggles with each other and with those who are empathetic to their situations. The women on the outside, in many ways, have to be stronger that their relatives inside to survive in today s world. We hope Kairos Outside will help them find strength for their life journeys and give them a chance to find and build friendships that may last a lifetime. Upcoming Kairos Outside # 24 Weekend!
