NEW FOUNDATIONS
WHAT
DO OUR PROGRAMS OFFER YOU?
New
Foundations' training in communication skills,
affirmation,
cooperation and conflict resolution is for
everyone:
 For
companies and agencies -- a happier,
more productive work environment through
improving
communication and cooperation skills.
For
professional counselors -- experiential
exercises to use with clients to help
bridge the
communication gap between the
professional's knowledge and the client's
willingness and ability to
understand and accept information.
For
neighborhoods -- building
true community to alleviate the feelings
of isolation and fear that so
often lead to violence.
For
prisons -- skills in
nonviolent conflict resolution help
inmates avoid repeating violent crimes in
prison and on release into the community.

ALTERNATIVES
TO VIOLENCE PROJECT (AVP) (click to view
our AVP page!)
"Many
of the residents who attended were
excited and enthused with their newly
found knowledge
over the (AVP) weekend. A lot of the
members here have been institutionalized
a large part of their
lives and the only way they know to
handle their anger is in a violent
manner. Your teams teach
everyone, regardless of background, a new
way to live."
Working
with populations as diverse as Bosnian
teenagers in a Croatian refugee camp,
university
students, employees in the workplace,
prison inmates, inner-city youth, and
homeless women,
New Foundations' AVP program is for
everyone. These powerful workshops are
transforming
lives for a more peaceful world. |
ONE-TO-ONE VISITATION PROGRAM (click to view our
ONE-TO-ONE page!)
ONE-TO-ONE
SUPPORT PROGRAM
provides
volunteers who meet one-to-one, with
prison inmates on a continuing basis.
Participants provide support and informal
counseling to inmates, and act as
liaisons between community resources and
prisoners and their families, as well as
providing inmates referrals to
rehabilitation services (such as
drug-and-alcohol-treatment programs). |
