Many of our residents face the challenge of transitioning out of incarceration to a successful environment but need assistance with acclimating to new challenges and developing a schedule for themselves. Some residents need accountability and support to set out on their own.


 Our Mentoring program at ETLS, Inc. provides face-to-face contact with residents, while providing randomized drug tests, home inspections, goal setting and tracking, job support, and ongoing collaboration with a client’s treatment team and family to ensure full support and accountability. We offer guidance for individuals in various phases of recovery. ETLS, Inc. works with each one of our residents to create an individualized approach toward continued wellness, in meeting the specific needs of our diverse clientele.


Our mentors are to provide support to our residents in their transition back into the community from addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. The mentoring program was born out of the challenges faced by our residents and provides them with the support they need to thrive. Through regular supervision meetings, constant communication, and training courses ranging from relapse prevention, family dynamics, crisis intervention and motivational interviewing, the Transcend Mentor is dedicated to growing right alongside their client.

The Mentorship Program at ETLS, Inc. brings together trained Peer Support Specialists and some community volunteers with individuals who are reentering the community after incarceration. ETLS, Inc. Mentorship program cultivates healthy social connections, with the aim of fostering productive habits, becoming productive citizens in the community, and providing new positive experiences.

It’s no secret that many men are not great with expressing their feelings to discuss their life issues. Many of us experience tough times, some life challenges, low self-esteem, or are generally looking for a bit of extra support and someone to chat with. ETLS, Inc.
