SESSION INFO

Monday, February 26, 2024
2:15 PM - 3:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Parenting Inside Out is a highly rated evidence-based parenting skills training program designed for justice system-impacted parents. It has been successfully implemented in jails, prisons and community corrections, and community-based organizations, nationally and internationally. Evaluative results demonstrate PIO’s ability to holistically support parents and their children while increasing parent-child contact, parental involvement, parental resiliency and coping skills, and reducing recidivism. This workshop will feature an overview of the program, supporting research, and first-hand user experience of PIO through a session demonstration, and panel conversation on implementing PIO. Panel members include program facilitators, managers and executive leadership who all bring diverse experience and intimate knowledge of the program. Panel members will lead workshop attendees through an interactive model of a session featuring a core PIO topic. Attendees will be invited to participate, pose questions, share their experience, offer ideas, reflections, and be in community with others interested in implementing PIO.
