Bridge to Work: Inclusive Employment Pathways for Justice-Involved Women

Bridge to Work will build inclusive workplace cultures and employment pathways for justice-involved women in recovery through employer education, workforce partnerships, and bias-reduction practices.

Justice-involved women with substance use disorder face entrenched employer bias, inflexible workplaces, and limited access to quality job opportunities. Bridge to Work expands Dismas Home's proven vocational supports - preparing women for sustainable careers, establishing business partnerships, and educating employers to create cultures of acceptance. By aligning workforce development with inclusive workplace practices, the program will deliver strong employment outcomes, reduce recidivism, and create lasting systems change that benefits women, businesses, and New Hampshire communities.
