Abstract

This training design is intended to be a training of trainers. The point will be made throughout the training that participants, whatever their field may be, will likely be in a situation at one time or another where they will be talking to somebody about reentry. This reentry experience may be related to work or study. The trainer might be conducting a reentry orientation or meeting with a person individually. Whatever the specific situation may be, the fact remains that they, as trainers, will need to be familiar with different issues that a person might go through upon reentry and be able to identify possible coping strategies to assist that person. Our intent, therefore, in preparing this design is to provide a general overview of some issues and possible ways to deal with them.
