Our Story
Peggy Stephens established PS Transformation Ministries (PST7) to walk alongside women and families impacted by the criminal legal system. Her personal journey revealed that incarceration rarely provides the environment for genuine healing or personal growth, and once released, finding the resources needed to rebuild can be an overwhelming challenge. Determined to change that narrative, Peggy created PST7 as a platform for intentional transformation, offering support, structure, and hope to those seeking a fresh start.
After her release, Peggy rebuilt her life through meaningful employment, restored family connections, achieved homeownership, and became a respected, contributing member of her community. Her success is a testament to what’s possible with clarity, commitment, and access to the right support. Through PST7, she now helps others do the same, navigating systems, reclaiming dignity, and building lives rooted in purpose and possibility.
Our Mission
PS Transformation 7 Ministries (PST7) is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering women and men in need, especially those reentering society after incarceration. We take urgent action to connect individuals with recovery resources, referrals, and strategic support, bridging the gap from dependency to self-sufficiency. By providing access to the right tools, we help people unlock their potential and rebuild their lives with confidence, purpose, and dignity.
Dedication and Service
Here at PS TransFormation 7 Ministries we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit upon: support, empowerment and progress. Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to affect real change. PST7 emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support women, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words.
IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS
-
The rapid growth of women’s incarceration highlights that justice policies and support systems might not be keeping pace with women’s specific needs.
-
Because many incarcerated women have children and caregiving responsibilities, their incarceration and reentry impact not just them but families and communities too.
-
Reentry is a vulnerable period: Without sufficient support (housing, employment, mental health, substance use, trauma-informed care), the risk of recidivism, or returning to incarceration, increases.
