Group Work & Peer Support
Families Outside Group Work and Peer Support service encourages families to come together and learn from one another’s lived experiences.
The Group Work & Peer Support team working with family members have created a variety of local and national group work sessions delivered virtually via zoom, or in-person (where possible) to support children, young people and adults affected by a family members imprisonment. Groups and activities near you, check out the activities listed below.
We also publish Activity Packs with lots of fun activities that children and families can do together at home with their families or during a virtual visit or in-person visit with their family member.
