Our Story
What We Do.
Continue the Story comes alongside families that are impacted by the prison system. Over 2.7 million children in the United States have a parent that is in prison. The lives of those children are instantly and drastically changed for no fault of their own. Research suggests that intervening in the lives of parents in prison and their children help to preserve and strengthen positive family connections. As a result, it can lower the chances of lasting psychological and emotional trauma for their children.
Why We Do It.
Imagine the difference we could make in the world. By helping the families impacted by the prison system, we could not only change their lives, we could begin to rewrite the perceptions of those in prison. Everyone deserves to be loved. That includes those who are not “perfect.” We have the ability to give people in prison a chance to rewrite their stories and give them hope for the future. Join us as we help those in prison to not only be rehabilitated but also to find redemption. Let’s give them the tools to continue their story.
