This program is named in honor of the late Ms. Leigh Schuerholz who was one of the first mother’s group facilitators in the jail back in 1991. She was a social worker and an active member of the Rockland Friends Meeting (Quakers) who granted us the funding to start this program four years ago.
The Leigh Schuerholz Mentor Project provides emotional support to parents as they transition from incarceration to life back in the community and their families. All of our mentors are trained and provided with monthly support groups as well as individualized supervision as they are newly matched with parent mentees. Mentees are provided with guidance and support so that they can stay on track to meet their individual goals of employment, stable housing, mental health treatment and positive engagement with their children and families.
Mentor Support Meetings- Bi-monthly, first Thursday at 6:30pm
Location: Rockland Parent-Child Center 7777 Ave, Nyack.
