Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date on programs and ways to help our mission to unify families across the state!
Children who maintain contact with their incarcerated parent are less likely to drop out of school and experience healthier mental development. The continued connection also has a positive impact on the parents, helping to prepare them to reunite with their family upon release.
