Adapted from our Hero’s Journey™ life coaching programme and co-designed with young Black men with lived experience, it addresses the specific experiences of young Black men in the prison system, who are over-represented.
The pilot was completed before Covid-19 and was a phenomenal success. We are due to re-start the programme and will share evidence of impact here. Find out more about this programme now.
