Resources from the "Strengthening Families of
Incarcerated Fathers" workshop held at the 2008
Here are the resources I offered to send people at the end of our workshop
at the conference:
The Families in Focus curriculum. This is a
parenting curriculum developed by the Council on Crime and Justice for use in
prisons. It is 12 sessions long, with each session lasting 2 hours. Feel free
to use portions or all of the curriculum. What I ask is that you let me know
how you use it, and what feedback you have about the curriculum. (pdf format)
Families in Focus Pre-Class Evaluation Survey;
Families in Focus Post-Class Evaluation Survey
We use these surveys as part of our evaluation of the prison parenting classes.
Again, feel free to use this survey or portions of it, and please let us know
how you use it and the feedback you have.
2006 Families in Focus Evaluation Report: This is a report of the pre/post
evaluation survey results from our prison parenting classes in 2005.
Twin Cities Felony Friendly Resource List: A
directory of local agencies and programs that serve people coming out of
prison. If you have updates or additions, please let me know.
Staying Strong and Staying Connected: A handbook
for families and friends of those incarcerated in Minnesota State Correctional
Facilities
Twin Cities Resource List for Families of Incarcerated
Individuals: A similar directory, but with a focus on families. We are in
the process of updating this one.
List of Parenting Education Being Offered in
Minnesota Correctional Facilities: I made this list a couple years ago. It
is incomplete, and not entirely up to date. I'd also welcome corrections and
additions for this.
Thank you,
