4. Reframing Setbacks as Part of the Process

Justice-involved individuals often face setbacks such as probation violations, employment loss, or housing instability. Without proper support, these setbacks can derail progress and reinforce systemic cycles of incarceration and instability.
What This Looks Like in Practice:

• Using a **person-centered approach** that acknowledges supervision mandates while fostering continued engagement in recovery and stability efforts.
• Helping individuals develop coping strategies that allow them to learn from challenges rather than become discouraged by them.
• Recognizing that success is not linear and reinforcing long-term resilience rather than immediate perfection.

Key Takeaway:
Recovery and reentry are not about avoiding setbacks but learning how to navigate them effectively.
