incarcerated individuals, ex-offenders, addicts, and their families to help

continues to impact communities with the reduction of recidivism, reuniting
broken families, and transforming lives in Union and Stanly Counties.

they are at a higher risk for emotional trauma, social stigmatism, and financial

WHY WE INVEST IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN

Experiencing a parent in incarceration can have an impact on a child’s:

• Mental Health • Social Behavior • Educational and Economic Outcomes –

Parental incarceration increases risks for emotional trauma, social stigmatism,
and financial hardship that occurs with loss of household income.

These children are more likely to face other adverse childhood experiences,
including witnessing violence in their communities, or directly in their
household, or exposure to drugs and alcohol abuse..
