ReMerge

Oklahoma has incarcerated more women per capita than anywhere else in the world for nearly three decades. In 2010, the Inasmuch Foundation and the United Way of Central Oklahoma convened a group of 25 community leaders to address the rate at which Oklahoma incarcerates women and the trauma that occurs within a family when a mother goes to prison. This group identified an approach that would remove barriers and provide a path for more successful futures for mothers who battle cycles of trauma, poverty and incarceration.

Founded on a collective impact model and designed around comprehensive programming and support, ReMerge was officially launched in 2011. Since that time, ReMerge has graduated 206 women who parent a total of 504 minor children. ReMerge has saved the state of Oklahoma more than $51 million dollars by providing a pathway for mothers to be restored to our community rather than incarcerated and separated from their children.

5 Star Review By Paige Newberry

Changed my life! Before ReMerge I was lost & had no hope! I have now been Graduated for a little over a year, and even to this day when I feel weak or like I want to give up, everything that ReMerge has taught me has replayed in my head and helped me cope with the bad and still move forward! It brought me back to my family, especially my daughter! I have an amazing and healthy relationship with her! I am able to be the parent that I always wished I could've had. I see how breaking the cycle has changed my daughter's life, she no longer looks at me like someone that is barely there and in and out of jail. She sees me as a hardworking mother that she can depend on to be there anytime day or night and someone that she can look up to, and most importantly to love her in the way she deserves. I'm not longer the mother that is full of "I'm sorry". This is not all that ReMerge has given me, they gave me a forever family even though I may not be there everyday or even at all anymore, I know that if I needed to have someone to talk to I am always welcome. They help mold me into the adult that I never was or never was taught to be. They do more than just help an addict stay out of prison, they give you hope, integrity, strength, knowledge, they help you build for a career, and they cover all aspects on how to live a normal life. ReMerge is more than a court program they are the everything that addicts have never had and everything that they ever needed. Not one staff member that I know is there for the money, they are there because they actually care about giving me and so many other mothers like me a second chance that we never knew we deserved. Addicts aren't a lost cause and no one is beyond repair. They just need someone to believe in them when they can't even believe in themselves and when everyone else has given up on them as well! ReMerge was my biggest blessing they made me a person that I would have never in a millions years thought I could be! And the best thing of all is I always wanted to be the hero that my daughter always said that I was and now I am!
