What to expect at APH

Because we have changed the direction of our ministry, we now assist any woman that is seeking a new way of life and is committed to create a path for herself with assistance from APH, Inc., Your Reentry Connection. The process begins inside the facility by completing an application for assistance. They woman and an APH staff member create a plan of what the woman feels she needs for your reintegration back into her family and community.  

Every woman is eligible for assistance. However, additional services will be provided to the woman that has persevered and have been diligent during her incarceration and accomplished goals to better herself and her circumstances. For those women, we will assign a mentor who will meet with her and encourage her during her reintegration process. 

It is our objective to encourage women to be all that they can be and will provide as much or as little resources and referrals as SHE feels she needs.  If she wants to find a home church, we will refer her to a church of her choice and connect with the church to find a welcoming family who will be there at her first, second and third visit. 

APH is blessed to have a very supportive and generous cadre of volunteers who go above and beyond to help the women both inside and out of prison and jail.  We believe that no need is too great for God to fill. He is our provider.
