Our Impact
The global EPP community has been delivering programs since 2009. Through this journey, we have refined our curriculum and delivery mechanisms to maximise the impact we have on the individuals attending our programs. The following list highlights the common outcomes we see across the many programs we have delivered.
As things stand today, the team is working hard to establish the first EPP program in Australia. We are in discussions with multiple facilities across Australia in regards to delivering programs to the communities they are supporting. Once these programs begin, we will update this page with the testimonials and supporting evidence that we gather to demonstrate the value EPP is having on the lives of the individuals we work with.
In the meantime, here’s some testimonies from our participants from other parts of the world...

“As an inmate, I found myself lost and struggling to find out what had gone so wrong in my life that I no longer deserved freedom. As a student … I learned that I not only deserve freedom but that I also hold the key to my own personal freedom by simply taking an honest look at myself, my choices, and my behavior.”

“When I went to jail I was lost, and could not explain how or why I went down the path to end up behind bars…With the knowledge I learned while incarcerated and the serious commitment by and to the Ambassador Program I am traveling on the best path I have ever been on in my life. I have learned how to be present, and to be in relationship in the moment without making others into objects onto which I paste my history, my projections or judgments because of my past.”

“Without addressing my need to understand how I could have become an addict in the first place, I found myself serving a life sentence in the cell that is my own mind.”
