What it reported doing in 2024

The organization also has various smaller programs which are grouped together as other programs. These programs include parenting from within (pfw), fathering our children with unconditional support (f.o.c.u.s.) and strengthening incarcerated families (sif). These programs provide incarcerated mothers and fathers with parenting classes that empower adults with the tools they need to reduce incarceration related stress and build the resiliency they need to meet the daily challenges in their lives. The classes are designed to help individuals identify problems within the self in order to then rebuild for a stable life. Topics covered during the classes include communication skills, healthy relationships, setting boundaries, problem solving, emotional regulation, parenting skills, and more. For parents who have been through these classes, the organization also provides a social connection support group. This group helps prepare the parents for re-entry into society and focus on goal setting, resume building, work ethic, and decision making.
