Our after-prison support services aim to address issues such as homelessness, social isolation, mental health, and drug and alcohol use, by providing housing support, employment connections, education opportunities, support with family relationships and pathways out of financial hardship. We service the Newcastle and Upper Central Coast areas of NSW.
For more than 25 years Samaritans has worked with people leaving prison, helping them to re-establish their lives ‘on the outside’.
