Today, we kicked off the ’90 Day Challenge Event’ at FCI Aliceville in light the 1 year anniversary of the Peer Success Team. We had approx. 225 peers in attendance. The event was held at the big gym hall at Recreation and we had 12 Circles, all related to the 8 Dimensions of Wellness.
Each table in the circle held a workshop, for example for Re-Entry, Starting your own business, Recycling, Sobriety, Parenting, Spirituality, Writing and so on. The outside Rec area was dedicated to Fitness. My workshop was about writing and Prison Professors Talent.
The purpose of this event is to awaken our Peers and challenge them to commit to a 90-day challenge, keeping track of what they do and being held accountable.
The event took place in an orderly fashion and we were rewarded with a motivational speech by the AW.
In the coming weeks, we will have the list with all participants and tracking sheets to monitor their progress on a daily basis. Everyone was asking about incentives, I commented that the biggest incentive is what you achieve through this challenge and that can very well be translated into a lifelong reward…
