Download Holding On & Moving Forward

A Free Handbook for Families of the Incarcerated

When someone you love is incarcerated, the whole family does time.

You face confusion about the system, worry about your loved one, questions about what to say to the kids — and no one hands you a manual.

Until now.

Holding On & Moving Forward is a comprehensive guide built specifically for justice-impacted families. It covers:

  • ✓ Emotional survival — navigating grief, shame, and isolation
  • ✓ The justice system — court dates, sentencing, parole, and your loved one’s rights
  • ✓ Staying connected — phone, mail, visitation, technology
  • ✓ Supporting children — age-appropriate conversations and coping strategies
  • ✓ Self-care — how to pour from a full cup, not an empty one
  • ✓ Practical resources — state-by-state references, glossaries, forms, and more
