On September 29, the Northeast Indiana Reentry Coalition, Purdue Extension, and LITE Recovery are inviting community partners to experience some of those challenges through an interactive Re-Entry Simulator.

The goal isn’t to suggest that a simulation can fully replicate the experience of returning home. Instead, it gives us an opportunity to look at reentry from a different perspective—to see how quickly systems intersect, where barriers exist, and where our communities have opportunities to strengthen the path home.

🎟️ $15 | Lunch included
