Corrections
Choose Love is committed to uplifting the lives of all those involved in the Department of Corrections.
The New Hampshire Department of Corrections (NHDOC) took the bold step in the Fall of 2021 to pilot Choose Love programming to improve residents’ relationships with each other, their families, and communities to better prepare them for reentry.
The program has run four times to date at the women’s and men’s facilities in New Hampshire and is expanding with waiting lists for participation.
An outcome we are particularly excited about is the elevation of the conversations inmates are now having with their families holding the promise to further elevate outcomes upon release and with future generations.
The program includes:
- Kickoff session led by Scarlet Lewis, founder of Choose Love
- 6-12-week program for residents (15 in the men’s workshops and 15 in the women’s)
- Incarcerated residents were trained to lead and facilitate the sessions with their peers
- 1.5 day pre-training for correctional officers and staff
- Ongoing guidance and assistance for administrative staff
- Observation of and regular feedback to facilitators
- Created adaptations for use in transitional housing
- Graduation ceremony with keynote from Scarlet Lewis

Zen Kids
Simple, no cost yoga and mindfulness lessons you can use in your classroom.
About This Program
We have partnered with Zensational Kids to combine the tools of yoga and mindfulness into our curriculum.
These additional lesson plans will provide you with avenues to explore breath, movement and mindfulness with your students, as well as for yourself.
Research is demonstrating how these specific tools help the nervous system relax, organize and process information, which is not only essential for learning, but also living healthy, happy lives.
Yoga and mindfulness have been found to be highly effective practices to help students self-regulate, manage big emotions, focus their attention, and develop resilience.
