Welcome to the 7th Step Society 
Newfoundland & Labrador

7th Step NL is a volunteer-based peer support group that meets weekly with persons who are presently or have been incarcerated or criminalized, and/or individuals seeking support as they return to their community. The goal is to foster open communication, peer support, and encourage positive daily decision making.

ABOUT

What makes 7th Step unique is our commitment to a process of collective and group-led self-help and peer support.

We help our members reflect upon their thoughts and attitudes.

We help our members return to and live and remain in their community.

We are a process, not a program.

 

The Seven Steps were developed by a formerly incarcerated person/prisoner to demonstrate the promise and commitment to making meaningful change.

Institutional Groups

7th Step holds an inside group at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary every Wednesday morning.  There are also groups operating in the central region of the province for individuals who may be living or staying there. These groups are a means of support and encouragement for members inside the correctional institution.
