The difficult yet rewarding process of responding to client needs on a personal level and thereby nurturing a sense of hope within that person is examined. Sections of this article include: providing human contact and hope; an individualized approach; collaboration brings strength; achievements; lessons learned; and comments on if a gender-specific program would be beneficial to other agencies. Project Reconnect had a 7% recidivism rate during the first 12 months for those participant's discharged from the program.
