Behavioral health and substance use treatment, including a 12-week relapse prevention curriculum; Employment readiness through the LEAP program with paid stipends, mentorship, and job placement; Housing supports, including transitional housing and emergency relocation; System navigation for transportation, IDs, benefits, and provider connections; Wellness programming to promote trauma recovery, relapse prevention, and nature-based healing; and The REDIRECT Project aims to reduce recidivism, strengthen rehabilitation, and create pathways to stability for Stockton’s most vulnerable residents; now, therefore, //
