Paul J. Ferris Named a VIP Member of Worldwide Who's Who for Excellence in Offender Rehabilitation

Paul J. Ferris aims to motivate repeat offenders to change their lives for the better



    KILMARNOCK, UNITED KINGDOM, April 10, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Paul J. Ferris, Chief Executive of the Scotland division of MIDAS, was recently named a VIP member of Worldwide Who's Who. This special distinction honors individuals who have shown exceptional commitment to achieving personal and professional success.

From his years engaging in a life of crime, Paul Ferris knows firsthand that the lure of fast money and all the perks it can bring continually draws ex-offenders back into the correctional system. Many of them have spent their lives trying to break the cycle. Realizing that Scotland's reoffending rates have remained extremely high over recent years, Mr. Ferris became involved with the MIDAS organization, a nonprofit endeavor that aims to motivate repeat offenders to change their lives for the better. In addition to the innovative vision and real-world experience of its founders, MIDAS offers educational opportunities and the guidance of social workers and psychologists to help redirect individuals on a path toward self-improvement.

Mr. Ferris engages in one-on-one dialogue with clients to determine the best course of action for regaining control of their lives. Whether it is through substance abuse intervention or mental health therapy to address a range of psychological issues, he helps facilitate services for youths and adults that reconnect them with society at large. With plans for the organization to establish a center providing enrichment and entertainment outlets for people of all ages, Mr. Ferris hopes to increase its outreach to include sports programs and professional training initiatives and apprenticeships. As he coordinates with fellow executives and key figures in his community, he looks forward to raising awareness of the MIDAS cause and spreading its message internationally.

Certified in substance abuse, wellness and enhanced thinking skills through Durham University, Mr. Ferris also hopes to complete his formal education in the years to come. Among his other interests are social justice, governmental issues, advertising, and media relations.
