Osborne's Focus

• Adopting Healthy Lifestyles
  Osborne’s prevention and treatment services provide a holistic approach to managing health-related challenges, including drug/alcohol/tobacco use, chronic health conditions, and mental illness. Based on a comprehensive assessment, individuals are offered services that provide an appropriate level of care and support. Osborne’s services are evidence-based, utilizing cognitive behavioral interventions and approaches specific to criminal justice involvement.
  
  Reconnecting Families
  Osborne’s family-centered approach recognizes the central role of family and social networks in reaching the desired outcomes of all of our programs.
  
  Achieving Economic Independence
  Osborne’s Workforce Development programs offer comprehensive employment and training services to people with criminal records, including vocational and educational assessments, career counseling, job readiness workshops, resume preparation, skills enhancement (including GED prep and hard skills training), job search and placement assistance in the Green and Food Services sectors, with follow-up support to assist participants to adjust to workplace demands.
  
  Reducing Reliance on Incarceration
  Currently, there are more than 2 million men and women incarcerated in the United States - the highest incarceration rate in the world. We believe that relying only on imprisonment as a response to crime is a costly and counter-productive approach that fails to take into account people's basic capacity to change. At Osborne we employ effective measures that reduce incarceration and recidivism rates. This benefits the individual, while also keeping our communities safer.
  
  Strengthening Communities
  The Osborne Association advocates for systemic reforms that divert people from incarceration to treatment, provide effective programs during incarceration that prepare people to return home, and remove barriers to community and family reintegration upon release.
