When their mum or dad is in prison: Prisoners’ Families is a service that supports children and families who are going through a difficult time when someone in the family is in prison or has recently been released – usually the children’s mum or dad.
We have a specialist team of people who give support and guidance to everybody in the family if they need it. That could be parents, children or grandparents. If you have a loved one in prison, it can be difficult to explain this to children and help them to understand what is happening. Our team can give you advice on how to talk to children about imprisonment and how to support them through the situation.
We also provide an advocacy service, which means we can speak to the prison or probation service for you if there is anything you need help with, or anything you don’t understand. You can get access to all of this support whilst your loved one is in prison or once they’ve been released. It depends on you and your family and the situation you are going through to decide what type of support might help you.
Anyone in Merseyside who has a relative who is or has been in prison
