Building bright futures for children with a parent in prison.

[projectavary @projectavary]

Project Avary teens share about their experience of parental incarceration on this week’s episode of @earhustlesq Podcast. These kids and their commitment to honesty and raw self-expression inspires us endlessly. We can’t thank them enough for their bravery! Please listen!

[Ear Hustle Podcast @earhustlesq]

On this week's episode, we discuss how incarceration impacts parent/child relationships.

We talk with kids who have incarcerated parents, as well as a formerly incarcerated mom, and hear why sometimes acceptance is the only way forward.

So excited to have been chosen to be part of @projectavary - growing up the child of an incarcerated parent, I wish programs like this had existed when I was a kid 💜 beyond grateful for this opportunity.

Families bear numerous burdens when a loved one becomes incarcerated, including trauma, stigma, financial strains, shame & isolation.
Check out these slides from @projectavary showing some of the impact of incarceration on #children & #families. Anything missing? Let us know!

2.7M children are impacted by parental incarceration & need the support of a caring community. We also know that there are so many adults out there that want to help these kids. Help us find them! Send them to https://t.co/H6k2u4bmkO or email [email protected] to learn more.

[projectavary @projectavary]

We are calling on folks to help us make connections with educators, social workers, physicians--any one who has a direct link to children impacted by parental incarceration (CIP). We are currently targeting our efforts to Louisiana, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida & Mississippi.

[projectavary @projectavary]

We provide a culture where youth feel loved and cared for, where they know they deeply matter and that they are not alone. Within this container of deep trust and respect, children of the incarcerated join together to heal and to grow strong.

@prisonculture This book is so good. Beautifully illustrated and such a great story. It's just as supportive to children who have an incarcerated parent as it is educational to those who don't. Representation matters!

[projectavary @projectavary]

There are almost 3 million children with a parent in prison. We need your help finding them!

We are currently enrolling youth NATIONWIDE (ages 8-18) in our April & summer online groups for children of incarcerated parents. Visit https://t.co/H6k2u4bmkO to learn more or to apply!

Stigma against people with an incarcerated parent can be subtle or it can be obvious—either way, it can lead to harm, and it doesn't have to be this way! ⁠
Let's begin normalizing this experience. It will help dissipate stigma and allow youth to move more freely in the world.
