Recently, our Parenting Inside Out (PIO) training team conducted a training session for a cohort of 60 counseling staff at Rikers Island, in collaboration with the New York City Department of Corrections. PIO will be implemented across the department.

A participant shared after the training: "The feedback we have received from staff has been overwhelmingly positive. Participants found the training to be engaging and informative. Your expertise, professionalism, and ability to effectively deliver the material were greatly appreciated, and contributed to a valuable learning experience for everyone involved."

See Us, Support Us (SUSU) creates a community for and raises awareness about the 1 in 14 children who experience parental incarceration. October is SUSU month, and this year SUSU focuses on ensuring children have access to their incarcerated parents. Having access to an incarcerated parent supports healing and wellbeing, but limited visiting hours, pricey phone calls, and other barriers make it difficult for children to build and maintain relationships with an incarcerated parent.

Ways you can support SUSU:

- Sign up for the SUSU newsletter: https://www.susu-osborne.org/newsletter
- Follow SUSU on Facebook: NY Initiative for Children of Incarcerated Parents
- Visit the SUSU website to connect with resources, hear tips from young people, and advocate for family-friendly visiting practices in jails and prisons: https://www.susu-osborne.org/

Encourage children and families to follow SUSU to connect with resources and to be in community with others experiencing parental incarceration.
