support programs

When a parent or guardian is arrested, many children suffer. A review of studies on children with incarcerated parents reveals that “the arrest and removal of a mother or father from a child’s life forces that child to confront emotional, social and economic consequences that may trigger behavior problems, poor outcomes in school and a disruption or severance of the relationship with the incarcerated parent that may persist even after the parent is released from prison. Our primary objective as Hope Calvary is to support these children and help them find hope again by providing need-based support programs that focus on education, livelihood, psychosocial help, and social re-integration.

Research strongly expose the negative impact of incarcerating a child’s parent or guardian and how it affects their overall education.

The child’s life must continue, but most importantly the quality of that life matters more now that the mother or father are incarcerated.

Apart from the child’s guardian being incarcerated, behavior problems are further escalated by the child’s emotional state and thought processes.

The programs wouldn’t be complete without finally integrating the child
socially into the community through positive daily activities.
