Anabranch Meaning
The word "Anabranch" refers to a branch of a river that separates and flows away from the main channel, only to rejoin it further downstream.
Just as an anabranch diverges from the main river, individuals who have been impacted by the criminal justice system often find themselves on a detour from the mainstream path of society.
At Anabranch Plus, we recognise that these divergent paths, while challenging, are not permanent.
Our goal is to serve as the "plus“, the guiding force that reconnects these individuals with the main course of life, empowering them to navigate their way back to a fulfilling and productive journey.
