Always Parenting Resources
Why Always Parenting?
Being separated from a parent due to incarceration often causes a multitude of negative effects on children’s lives.
- Children of incarcerated parents have been found to be up to 5 times more likely to enter the criminal justice system compared to children who do not have an incarcerated parent.
- Always Parenting is here to prevent this outcome.
