April is #SecondChanceMonth - a dedication to raising awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with criminal records, and supporting their successful reentry into society.⁠ ⁠ Johnny, who is a participant in Goodwill’s FCS program, was also a participant in the Grant County Community Court program. Incredibly, despite years of addiction, homelessness, and criminal activity, he became the 15th Community Court graduate in January of this year.⁠ ⁠ This achievement reflects many months of commitment, treatment, accountability, and rebuilding trust. Community Court helped Johnny shift his mindset, stay sober, regain stability, and work through the challenges that had followed him for years.⁠ ⁠ Goodwill is proud of the forward movement that Johnny has made to change his life, and as he said, “I refuse to go backwards.”⁠ ⁠ Ceremony photos courtesy of the Columbia Basin Herald.⁠ ⁠ #Housing #Recovery #FCS #GoodwillINW
