Resolana

Resolana is a program of Volunteers of America Texas that provides gender-specific programming to incarcerated women beginning inside the Dallas County Jail and continuing through their re-entry into the community. Resolana's goals are to increase readiness for change inside prisons, to increase the use of existing community resources on the outside and to reduce recidivism. Resolana offers case management prevention planning and information for supportive community reentry services that are provided before women are released from the Dallas County Jail. The Resolana's Mental health psycho-educational groups aim to educate women on the association between unresolved trauma experiences and drug abuse problems. They offer life skills classes that teach healthy communication, self-esteem, anger management, and healthy relationships, dialectical behavioral skills- mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Additionally, Resolana offers recovery programs, group classes for domestic violence and survivors of childhood sexual abuse, parenting classes, wellness classes, creativity classes, spiritual awareness, mentoring, Intensive Case Management and Job readiness/Financial Fitness.
