Cognitive Health Support
Restoring Mind | Building Resilience | Reimagining Legacy
At Legacy Reentry Foundation, we believe that true reintegration isn't just about employment or housing—it begins in the mind. With founder George Moore Jr.'s certification as a NAMI Sharing Hope/FaithNet Facilitator, we've expanded our support to include specialized cognitive health services designed for justice-impacted individuals and their families.

Why Cognitive Health Matters
After incarceration, many returning citizens face invisible wounds: trauma, depression, anxiety, memory or attention issues, and the weight of stigma. These cognitive and emotional barriers can sabotage even the strongest efforts at reentry.
Our Cognitive Health Services are built to address:
Trauma and PTSD
Related to incarceration and community violence
Anxiety & Depression
Stress around identity change and reintegration
Cognitive Setbacks
Memory, focus, executive functioning that hinder job readiness
Internalized Stigma
Self-belief issues that block opportunity and purpose
When the mind is supported, the path to employment, stable housing, and meaningful community engagement becomes far clearer.
What We Offer
01
Cognitive & Emotional Screening
We begin with a confidential assessment—led by peer-trained staff and licensed consultants—to identify cognitive strengths and areas for focused support.
02
Structured Cognitive Skills Workshops
  • Memory and focus training for everyday life and employment success
  • Executive-function modules (planning, decision-making, impulse control)
  • Emotional regulation and resilience sessions rooted in trauma-informed care
  • Faith-integrated reflection and identity repair forums
03
One-On-One Coaching & Peer Mentoring
Each participant is paired with a Legacy certified peer coach who has lived system experience. Together they build a personalized Cognitive Health Plan that aligns with the participant's reentry goals: employment, education, family stability.
04
Group Therapy & Support Circles
Faith-based cognitive health groups (drawn from NAMI Sharing Hope/FaithNet curriculum) create safe space for returning citizens, families of the justice­impacted, and community supporters. These circles reduce stigma, build connection, and normalize mental health discussions.
05
Navigation to Specialized Services
When needed, Legacy links clients to external partners (therapists, neuro-psychologists, substance-use counselors) and supports access to insurance, scheduling, and coordination—ensuring the cognitive health work is fully integrated.
