My primary job is to work with children whose parent is incarcerated or was previously incarcerated. I help these families find resources in their community and conduct family and individual therapy. The goal of this program is to interrupt the cycle of incarceration and give children the tools they need to succeed in life. I also do group psychotherapy with the inmates. The goal is to prevent repeat offending and have a smoother transition back to society. A particular area of focus is preparing the inmate for family life. Show less
