T. - Finding Good in Yourself and Others

Published on: 15th June, 2021

Violence surrounded T.'s childhood and brought him to prison where he spent 25 years of his life. When he found AVP, the Alternatives to violence Project he experienced for the first time that he didn't have a disease called violence. Violence was a choice and he did not want to continue on that path.

After his release he started to work with at risk youth and gang members. He now facilitates AVP workshops at the Osborne Association passing on his elder wisdom to guide next generations.
