Service Network for Children of Inmates

The Service Team for Children of Inmates intends to assure that children with an incarcerated parent will have opportunities to be cared for and supported in their development by a multi-skilled team. They propose...

- To identify the children of inmates in need of support and link them with appropriate helping organizations and services.
- To strengthen bonds between children and their caregivers, including the incarcerated parent(s) when appropriate, by providing support groups and hosting letter writing nights.
- To mitigate childhood trauma caused by the arrest of parents by engaging law enforcement, social services, and the public in understanding the needs of children.
- To increase the likelihood of successful reunification with incarcerated parents by supporting communication with parents while they are incarcerated.
