Reshaping Outcomes
Across the country, we see fractured communities, fragmented families and stolen futures. Why? Because the systems we live within—justice, economic, healthcare, housing—were not built for equity. All too often, they function exactly as designed.
The overrepresentation of system-impacted people in jails and prisons, the erosion of community support and the vast health disparities among low-income populations are not isolated failures. They are the outcomes of systemic decisions.
I’m Nicole Wiesen, and I work at the intersection of systems transformation and social justice. My expertise spans carceral reform, reentry programming, public health and capacity-building. I don’t just believe change is possible—I know it is essential.
Whether you’re a policymaker, nonprofit leader, grassroots advocate, or work in philanthropy or the private sector, you understand that real progress requires more than incremental policy change. It demands bold, trauma-informed strategies rooted in lived experience, equity and community power.
I partner with leaders who are ready to confront structural harm and co-create solutions that heal. Together, we’ll dismantle the systems that uphold inequity and design new ones that support justice, wellbeing and belonging.
Let’s reimagine what our systems can look like—together.
Post-Incarceration Syndrome (PICS) is one of the most common barriers to successful re-entry. It’s also one of the least understood and treated conditions in our healthcare and social services systems.
