Family Support Group (FSG)
The RECLAIM Family Support Group is a co-created space for anyone with formerly or currently Incarcerated loved ones to connect, learn from one another, share stories, offer mutual support, and build skills to navigate the complexities of the reintegration process. It aims to create a welcoming environment where loved ones can come find comfort in knowing they are not alone on their journey. The FSG provides families of incarcerated loved ones with space to connect and learn from one another to bring issues out of isolation and build a practice of collective mental well-being. This space is facilitated by system-impacted individuals who have navigated supporting someone through release and is open to anyone actively supporting a currently or formerly incarcerated loved one in navigating the reintegration process, or will be in the next 6 years.
