In this episode of Pros and Conversations, hosts Peter Reynolds and Damon Adachi explore how businesses can be powerful allies in helping women rebuild their lives after incarceration.
They’re joined by Kelly Potvin, Executive Director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Toronto, and Tina Eldridge, Executive Director of Rittenhouse, who share candid insights into the trauma women face in the criminal justice system, the barriers to reintegration, and the critical role of employment in creating lasting change.
Part of our Community Impact Series, this episode looks at how businesses can make a real difference in their communities—by breaking down barriers, creating inclusive spaces, and stepping up to support local needs. It’s not just about doing good; it’s also good for business. When companies give back and care about the communities around them, everyone wins.
