Leaving prison is not the end of a sentence—it’s the beginning of a complex journey back into society. For many individuals preparing for release, the outside world can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and isolating. Emotional challenges, broken relationships, stigma, and mental health struggles often surface during this transition.

At RB Wellbeing, we offer specialised pre-release therapy and ongoing therapeutic support to help individuals navigate this critical period of change with dignity, resilience, and hope.

Understanding the Challenges of Reentry

Offenders preparing to reenter the community often face a unique set of mental, emotional, and social challenges:

• Fear of rejection – from family, employers, or peers
• Lack of identity or self-worth after years inside the system
• Struggles with emotional regulation and trust
• Reluctance to ask for help or access mental health support
• Anxiety around housing, employment, or parole conditions

Without proper mental health care and emotional support, the risk of reoffending increases. But with the right guidance, individuals can build new paths forward.

How RB Wellbeing Can Help

RB Wellbeing has worked directly with individuals in the prison service, offering both in-reach therapy prior to release and community-based support after release. Our approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and rooted in compassion—not judgement.

🔹 Pre-Release Therapy

• 1:1 sessions to explore fears, guilt, or identity challenges
• Developing tools for emotional regulation and self-awareness
• Building a therapeutic relationship that can continue after release
• Goal setting for life after prison—housing, family, purpose

🔹 Post-Release Ongoing Therapy

• Online or in-person sessions for continued emotional support
• Processing reentry stress and dealing with relapse risk or triggers
• Working through trauma, shame, and rebuilding self-esteem
• Optional Walk and Talk Therapy to support movement and mental clarity

Reintegration Takes More Than a Plan—It Takes Support

Our goal is to walk alongside clients—not ahead or behind. We offer a space to talk openly, feel safe, and begin again. Each person is more than their past, and therapy can be the foundation for a better future.

Whether you’re a professional working with offenders, or someone preparing for release yourself, we are here to help. Our experience within the prison service and deep understanding of reentry challenges makes RB Wellbeing a trusted therapeutic partner on the outside.
