πŸ’š Inside Out Online Family Support Sessions

Supporting a family when a loved one is in prison can bring challenges that aren’t always easy to talk about β€” and sometimes it can help to know you’re not the only one experiencing them.

We’re running a series of free 1-hour online family support sessions, offering a supportive space to share experiences, explore common challenges and pick up ideas that may help you and your family.

Our upcoming sessions will cover:

🌿 18 November, 10am – Looking after yourself
πŸ’¬ 25 November, 10am – When contact is low or non-existent: helping children through it
πŸ“± 2 December, 10am – Video calls and making them work for children
πŸŽ„ 9 December, 10am – Birthdays, Christmas and big moments when a loved one is in prison

Booking is currently open for the 18 November session.
The other sessions will be available to book soon β€” keep an eye on our page for booking links.

πŸ’› **Calderdale professionals β€” we’re here to support families affected by imprisonment.**

Did you know that the **Inside Out Project** provides support for children, young people, parents and carers who have a loved one in prison?

We can offer:

🧑 One-to-one support for children, young people and adults
🧑 Practical and emotional support for families
🧑 Support around maintaining safe and meaningful connections with a loved one in prison
🧑 Support for schools and professionals working with children affected by imprisonment
🧑 Advice, guidance and training for professionals
🧑 Support to help families understand and navigate the impact of imprisonment

**We want to make sure families in Calderdale know that support is available.**

We haven't received a referral from Calderdale for some time, so we're asking our local professional network to help us reach the families who may need us.

πŸ‘‰ **Do you know a child, young person, parent or carer who has a loved one in prison?**

πŸ‘‰ **Could a family you are working with benefit from some extra support?**

πŸ‘‰ **Not sure whether Inside Out is the right service? Get in touch and we can talk it through.**

**Please share this post with colleagues and services across Calderdale.**

πŸ“© **Referrals and enquiries:** Get in touch with the Inside Out Project at Jigsaw.

**One referral could make a real difference to a family who may not know that support is there.** πŸ’›

πŸ’™ Lived experience changes the conversation.

We recently had the privilege of delivering our Inside Out professionals workshop for Bradford Children and Families Trust, welcoming professionals into prison to learn more about the experiences of children and families affected by imprisonment.

Professionals had the opportunity to meet our Inside Out team, hear directly from prisoners who have families and understand the impact imprisonment can have on children and family relationships.

But this workshop was a little different.

For the first time, we welcomed a family member to share her own lived experience.

She was incredible. ❀️

Listening to her speak gave professionals a powerful insight into the resilience, bravery and strength of families living with imprisonment, as well as the very real impact it can have on family life.

Sometimes no statistic, presentation or training resource can compare to simply listening to someone who has lived it.

And the feedback was amazing:

β€œThis is the best, most realistic training I have been on in my 22 years of working in children’s services.”

The pictures might show the workshop, but they don’t show the amazing team behind the scenes who make these days possible.

The people who keep me calm, organised and on track throughout the morning β€” the people making sure everything runs smoothly, supporting our speakers, welcoming professionals and dealing with all the things happening behind the scenes.

I genuinely couldn’t do this without them. πŸ’™

A huge thank you to my team, to Bradford Children and Families Trust for spending the day with us, to the prisoners who shared their experiences and, most importantly, to our family speaker for being so brave and open in sharing her story.

Real experiences. Real voices. Real learning.

On Friday mornings through the year our Jigsaw Leeds team organise a programme of two hour visits which have different themes. Some of these Friday visits are for prisoners with pre school children and others are tailored to families with school aged children. This Friday we organised a visit for prisoners who don’t have children to allow them to also benefit from a two hour visit with their friends and relatives.

Prisoners made and decorated photo frames, took part in a Northern cities themed quiz, enjoyed snacks and had the opportunity to have photos taken together
