Alma Center

The Alma Center is a community-based organization that works to heal, transform and evolve the unresolved pain of trauma that fuels the continuation of cycles of violence, abuse and dysfunction in families and communities. They work primarily with men at-risk or involved in the criminal justice system, focusing on men with a history of domestic violence. Their Alma Brothers is a reentry project designed to address unresolved underlying trauma that shows anti-social and criminal behavior and heightens the risk for ongoing criminal system involvement. The program's foundation is the Alma Center's evidence-based healing-focused care approach and the pioneering approach of outreach and engagement with the person's family and social network for the full year before release from incarceration. In addition, the Smart Reentry is an innovative reentry employment program for high-risk people returning from imprisonment to the Center Street Corridor, an area of Milwaukee plagued by gun violence.
