Frank Patka IV, Changing Patterns - Who Wrote That Up For You? Jan 2, 2023

Frank Patka IV is a founder of Changing Patterns, providing education, mentoring, and resources for citizens returning from incarceration. He credits the mentoring he received while incarcerated on an armed robbery conviction many years ago. Frank witnessed many of those who'd been released with him fail at re-entry, and he realized they'd been denied the knowledge on re-entry that he'd learned. Changing Patterns aims to change that.   Frank discussed the numerous challenges facing returning citizens related to employment, housing, and family reunification. He also shared the strongest factor in successful re-entry -- mindset. No matter the resources available, he said, change requires a personal commitment. – Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/changing-patterns-inc/ – Connect with Frank on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frank-patka-iv-583a1010b/ – Visit the website: https://changingpatternsinc.org/ For more on the need to fix U.S. courts, subscribe to "Who Wrote That Up For You?" wherever you listen to podcasts.
