CT Children with Incarcerated Parents Initiative - CTCIP

CT Children with Incarcerated Parents Initiative - CTCIP The CTCIP Initiative seeks to improve the supports and services for children with incarcerated parents across the state.

Since fiscal year 2008, the Institute for Municipal & Regional Policy (IMRP) at Central Connecticut State University has been receiving annual funding from the Connecticut General Assembly to administer competitive grants for providing positive interventions for at-risk youth whose parent(s) and/or family members have been incarcerated. The IMRP continually seeks to gain an additional understandin

g of these children and their service-needs through research, evaluation and outreach activities. As-such, the IMRP, in collaboration with several faculty members from BOR’s major public universities, as well as other Universities, is evaluating the effectiveness of direct care services in alleviating negative responses to parental incarceration and improving the positive attributes of CIP.

This May, CTCIP is proud to join the national movement for Children’s Mental Health Action Month. 💚

This month is an opportunity to highlight not only why children’s mental health matters, but what we are doing to strengthen support for
children, youth, and families in our communities. Having a parent incarcerated can directly impact a child's mental health. This month, and every month, we are committed to providing support that positively impacts children's mental health and well-being.

This UConnGives, we also want to shout out the UConn School of Public Policy Student Hardship Fund which provides critical support to students facing unexpected financial challenges. Funding helps cover emergency needs, offers support during unforeseen circumstances, and creates opportunities for professional development. Most importantly, it ensures students can continue and complete their programs without interruption, reducing the risk of pausing their studies or dropping out.
