WELCOME TO 7th STEP SOCIETY NEWFOUNDLAND
7th Step Society NL is a peer support group that meets weekly in the community and in Her Majesty's Penitentiary with volunteers, prisoners, former prisoners, and individuals seeking support as they re-enter their community and pursue new opportunities. The goal is to foster peer support and encourage daily positive decision making.
ABOUT
What makes 7th Step unique is our commitment to a process of self-help and peer support.
We are a process, not a program.
We help our members safely return to the community.
We help our members evaluate their thoughts and attitudes.
We help our members stay out of jail.
The Seven Steps were developed by a former prisoner to demonstrate the promise and commitment to making meaningful change.
