Are you Ready? A Checklist


Here are some things to consider when deciding whether you are ready to benefit from the services of the Safer Foundation.

You are ready to leave prison and your old life and attitudes behind you.
You are willing to be an active participant in turning your life around.
You recognize the value of a job-and want it for yourself, not because somebody is telling you to find a job.
You are ready to be a responsible employee-show up on time, every day and do your best-no matter what the job.
You are willing to start at a lower level job and work your way up through hard work.
You have a stable place to live and people that will support your efforts for change.
You know how to control your anger and get along with other people.
You are drug-free and prepared to stay that way.
If you do have problems-you are ready to admit them, get help for them and solve them so you can work.
