The work

Care that reaches beyond release.

Founded and led by formerly incarcerated people of the Tohono O’odham Nation, Restoring Relatives responds to the barriers that can follow incarceration: access to services, employment, family restoration, and sustained support. The organization brings behavioral health, cultural knowledge, and restorative practice into the same work.
