Overview

Reconciliation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization providing services and programs to reach out to youth and families who are innocent victims of crime by promoting family unification, human rights, and advocacy to strengthen the family unit as a whole and reduce inter-generational incarceration.

Our vision is reconciling husband to wife, parent to child, sister to brother, offender to community. Reconciliation recognizes that the families of the incarcerated are forgotten victims of crime. Innocent of any wrong-doing, they often are blamed and ostracized by friends and the community.

Through individual and family support, assistance and advocacy, Reconciliation creates an environment where families can support one another in order to meet their basic physical, emotional, and spiritual needs; strengthen and maintain family bonds throughout the crisis of incarceration; and aid in readjustment upon release of loved ones, thereby reducing recidivism and making a safer community for everyone.

Reconciliation, Inc. Reentry & Resource Center is a supportive environment and a healing community for individuals dealing with the effects of life controlling issues of incarceration, addiction, domestic violence, abuse and insufficient empowerment. The goal of the R & R Center is to connect individuals to their community - a network of support- and family reunification.

Mental Health and Mental Illness

“I’ve never shared my story with anybody.” -- The first step toward recovery can be the most difficult. The ability to engage in productive activities, to find relationships with other people fulfilling, and to adapt to change and cope with adversity are each vital to enjoying a happy and healthy life. But each of these facilities can be significantly impaired by mental health disorders. A mental health diagnosis should not define who a person is, or what a person can achieve through treatment and support. Middle Tennessee nonprofit organizations are ready to help make that first step toward good health a little easier.

Veterans & PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common psychological injury sustained by approximately 25% of our military service members who see combat. PTSD has devastating effects on those who suffer from it and their family members. The symptoms, such as hyper-alertness, dissociation, sleeplessness, and emotional detachment, give rise to even more serious problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, divorce, domestic violence – and even suicide. There is no “cure” for PTSD.

Crime Prevention

In today's climate of economic uncertainty, Middle Tennesseans may be concerned about the potential of rising crime. Fortunately, there are ways we can work together to protect ourselves and our communities from crime. Crime prevention cannot be achieved by one body alone. Rather, effective crime prevention results from a web of institutions, agencies, and daily life — including communities, families, schools, and the legal institutions of policing and criminal justice.

Affordable Housing

“Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.” In the United States, it is a typical expectation that everyone will have the opportunity to live in a decent and affordable home, in a community that promotes opportunity and a better quality of life in a secure and attractive environment. Families in poverty often do not achieve this expectation. Instead, many live in distressed neighborhoods, which often lack grocery stores, banks, and health resources. These neighborhoods typically have relatively high rates of crime and unemployment, as well as under-performing schools. Climbing out of poverty is even more difficult because of the lack of entry-level jobs in or near distressed neighborhoods, in combination with the lack of affordable housing in suburban communities where personal vehicles are often necessary to get to places of employment...

Homelessness

Homelessness is most visible in downtown urban settings, where individuals can be seen sleeping in public places and transporting their belongings in the stereotypical shopping cart. In reality, though, homelessness entraps many more people and families than those readily visible in typical urban environments. “Homelessness” implies that an individual or family does not have a permanent housing situation. According to this definition, individuals living in emergency shelters, transitional housing facilities, domestic violence shelters, or those traveling from couch to couch are all suffering from homelessness. An estimated 9,113 homeless persons lived in the state of Tennessee in 2011. Twenty-six percent of those homeless persons resided in the Middle Tennessee region...
