DIFFERENTIATION

Exodus Waalstraat provides aftercare to former people in detention and people in the final phase of their sentence. It is a mixed-gender facility for adults.

Exodus works according to the “Your Power” methodology. This approach places a strong emphasis on the strengths of each participant, which are assessed at the beginning of the program. By guiding participants toward their own recovery, engagement and motivation are fostered to help them rebuild their lives. The mentor plays a crucial role in overseeing the process, providing guidance and offering assistance as needed. An essential part of successful reintegration into society is building a meaningful daily routine. This may include finding paid work, getting an education or volunteering. If such a routine does not yet exist, Exodus offers support to participants in identifying their unique qualities and interests so they can work toward a fulfilling and purposeful life.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

Exodus Waalstraat is located in a district in the Southwest of Utrecht. The facility is situated within a residential area, surrounded by houses and across a public playground. As residents are actively engaged in work or outside activities, they have constant interaction with the community, regularly leaving the facility for various appointments. Therefore, specific on-site activities are not usually organized, as interaction with the community is an inherent and natural part of their routine.
