Women and Mentoring run an early intervention program supporting women and non-binary people in contact with the legal system by matching them with a mentor.
"We know that many in contact with the justice system come from trauma, disadvantage, victimisation and having experienced a range of complex issues that contributes to their vulnerability" says Tricia Ciampa, Executive Officer at WAM.
"Through a mentoring relationship, women have someone in their corner, to rely on for guidance, to build up self-esteem, and hopefully help them find their place in society."
Mentoring is a simple (yet effective) way to create positive change.
