Family Strong Program

On any given day, approximately 90,000 children and youth in Maryland have a parent under some form of correctional supervision. The Family Strong program focuses on serving the needs of these families through the provision of family strengthening activities, the navigation of academic success, and encouragement of nurturing family relationships. Case managers will work with families to address individual needs and provide opportunities that will ultimately improve the lives of these children, youth, and families.
