Ambition With Heart EXPO in the Chippewa Valley worked with UWEC Nursing students, DHS, FREE, and The Chippewa Valley Justice Action Team on a project titled “Returning To The Community, A Quality Improvement Project.” The goal was to raise awareness about the gaps and resources needed to support individuals returning to the community from incarceration. Objectives: Support individuals returning to the community. Identify barriers and address program gaps that are important for success and health. All this was done by listening and uplifting voices of those with lived experience.
