Good news: Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan New Jersey will be providing a series of educational workshops on sexual health and identity to FORTE House residents, and we're working with three other organizations--NJ STEP,  Center for Court Innovations, and Habakkuk’s Vision--to extend this benefit to even more people. Planned Parenthood will not only provide workshops but also referrals to health services to participants. We are so grateful for this critical support for our community! Partnership is powerful.

Last spring, Roxanne Roselle -- our FORTE House coworker, fellow survivor, and deeply-loved friend -- passed from this world. We still feel the deep pain of loss; we miss her daily; we look for ways to fill the void she left... unsuccessfully. But we also thank the many people who have reached out to us with a comforting word or gesture. In doing so, you honor Roxi's passionate commitment to helping women and girls impacted by the justice system.
