Successful Reentry Muncie
Counseling
individual & Family
Individual and Family Counseling is an important factor in ensuring that the process of reentry is smooth. Individual counseling provides for the opportunity for the participant to express their questions, concerns, and feelings regarding prerelease as well as post-release life. It is important for individuals to participate in counseling because working towards supporting and ensuring their proper mental health will allow for a successful transition period. Family counseling provides the foundation for participants and their families to discuss how both the individual, as well as family members, will be impacted by the transition phase. It also allows for healing and is strongly recommended for all families because everyone is impacted by the transitioning phase. On this page, you will find resources that will help the process of mending any trauma which comes as a result of reentry, for both individuals and their families.

(National resource & e-counseling online) This is a resource anyone can use from any county/state. Counseling is all online, which is not an entirely bad idea as some recently released individuals may not have a means of transportation yet, may have serious health issues/are immunocompromised or they have been exposed to COVID-19. They cover an enormous spectrum of things like anger, PTSD, family, depression, suicide/self-esteem, eating disorders, anxiety, ADHD, multiple personality disorders, bi-polar, and a ton more.

Better Help also has sponsored counselors from Muncie, IN who operate free-low cost and online.
