InsideOut Dad: Parent Education and Support for Fathers Inside and Outside Prison

PCAVT will facilitate groups with incarcerated fathers to support their understanding that their role in their children’s lives is irreplaceable. Participating in our InsideOut Dad® Program is a life-changing experience leading to families’ and children’s lives changing for the better. Supporting a strong relationship between a child and their father can mitigate the negative consequences for the child and lower recidivism rates. The program’s focus is on developing self-awareness, caring for self, fathering skills, parenting skills and relationship skills. These abilities support fathers becoming more involved, responsible, and committed fathers to their children, thus interrupting the intergenerational cycle of abuse and trauma.
