From Prison to Parenthood

Description:

This collaboration between a large prison and a well-established community coalition that serves pregnant women and new mothers offers a prevention model to help women transition successfully to parenthood after incarceration. Prenatal and parenting classes within prison will be followed by intense case management and home visits for mothers and infants. The project includes attention to prevalent issues of substance abuse and offers referrals to a broad network of health, employment, housing and social services to aid these new mothers in establishing healthy families as they transition from prison to home.
