Family visitation

Our Family Visitation Program allows children to see their parents nine times a year

8% of children in Georgia have an incarcerated parent

We facilitate meaningful visits between incarcerated parents and their children to preserve and nurture parent-child relationships.

Why is this important?

Research shows that maintaining family ties can…

Enhance children’s well-being

Improve the chances of successful reintegration for parents

Reduce parental recidivism

Foreverfamily’s Family Visitation Program provides children with the opportunity to visit their parents on a consistent basis thereby strengthening the family bonds.

With prison facilities being 100 miles or more away, it is no surprise that the majority of children do not get to see their incarcerated parents consistently.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way for these children to see their parents regularly? Well, with Foreverfamily – THEY CAN!

Regular contact preserves parent-child relationships

The Family Visitation Program provides children with the opportunity to visit their parents on a consistent basis to help strengthen family bonds.

Through Foreverfamily’s monthly prison trips, transportation is provided to 1 out of 3 women’s prisons in Georgia. We provide travel vouchers twice a year so that children with incarcerated fathers can visit their father.

Foreverfamily staff workers and volunteers ALWAYS chaperone children, so they will always be safe.

Our program’s children come from 3 generational homes and range from month old infants to as old as 18 years old.

The most memorable thing I’ll say is, my sister’s and niece’s face when they saw one another. I don’t remember the sound of slamming doors or having to be searched or any of those things…
