About Women 4 Change Inc
Women 4 Change works with women in prison and women leaving prison through LifeScripting, an 80-hour program focused on self, family, relationships, and society. The point is practical: help women build the information and skills they need to return to their families and live productive lives. More than 5,000 women have graduated, and the organization reports a ten-year study showing a less than 4% recidivism or return rate among graduates.
What sets Women 4 Change apart is its proprietary LifeScripting program, built around helping women recognize and change the belief systems and patterns that have shaped their choices. It is a focused reentry approach with a clear emphasis on personal growth before and after release.
