Hi everyone! Please share this with anyone you think might be interested. We've had a lot of response but not a lot of actually eligible participants, so your shares are appreciated! Youth from anywhere in Canada are welcomed!

Visiting a family member in prison can be frightening for anyone, especially children. 💙

Our My Visit resource helps to guide them through what the process might look like so it won't be so scary after all. 👇

Having a family member in prison can feel isolating at times. However, it can be so important to speak about your experiences and to realise there are so many others going through a similar situation. 💙
