Our goal at Connecting from the Heart is to empower incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals to break the cycle of recidivism. Countless peer-reviewed studies show how broken families, the lack of loving support, trauma and more, can produce emotional effects which, in turn, can lead to criminal behavior. CFTH incorporates trauma-informed therapies, Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique – EFT) and mindfulness/meditation practices to equip incarcerated individuals with resources to improve their lives. Studies show that improved mental wellness reduces recidivism.
