This program supports adolescent parents and other young people in custody at Reiby Juvenile Justice Centre to facilitate better outcomes for them and their children. This is achieved through:

1. Building positive parent-child relationships, ensuring child safety during visits and following the parent’s release.

2. Enhancing the parent’s capacity to understand the needs of their child, reducing risk of generational cycle of incarceration.

3. Increasing awareness in parents and staff of needs of children when visiting their parents in custody.

4. Providing universal parenting information and increasing understanding of healthy relationships.
