Life isn't always "a walk in the park." No matter who you are or where you come from, chances are you'll face periods of challenge, turmoil and trouble. Going it alone isn't always the best option. In some cases, you may benefit from professional counseling or mentoring.

CityLinC offers two programs for those in times of trouble or transition:

• Pathways Counseling Center
• The Mentor House
• Second Wind Mentoring Program

Overview: Second Wind Mentoring

Each year in Michigan, more than 10,000 inmates are released from the state prison system. Thousands more are released from county jails. The majority of offenders (86%) are released under parole supervision. Re-entry into society can be an enormous challenge affecting both adults and children.

Second Wind Mentoring is a partnership of CityLinC Ministries and more than a dozen mentoring groups in Calhoun County, Michigan. The mission of Second Wind Mentors is to serve released prisoners (and their families) during the re-entry process so they can become productive members of society. (Learn more now.)

All counseling and mentoring services at CityLinC, whether through Pathways or Second Wind, are confidential. We welcome people of all backgrounds and faiths.
