Foreverfamily: Fulfilling a Vital Role
Parental incarceration not only affects the children but spans across generations and can inflict irreparable damage on families and communities.
Foreverfamily aims to address this critical issue by providing support and resources to children and families affected by parental incarceration.
Our programs empower those directly affected and build their skills and their ability to change the trajectory of their own lives.
The Challenge
Children of incarcerated parents experience 3 times as many adverse childhood experiences as those with parents who are not incarcerated
58% of the women who went to jail in 2021 were mothers (Prison Policy)
Children served by Foreverfamily
Parent - child conversations facilitated via phone calls since 2020
Foreverfamily students promoted to the next grade
Letters written between parents and their children since 2020
Foreverfamily has served over 45,000 children, many of whom are now entrepreneurs, teachers, nonprofit leaders, pastors, and other community leaders.
These are powerful testaments to the positive impact Foreverfamily is making and proves it is possible to end the cycle of poverty, crime, and incarceration.
