Love Beyond the Walls: Stories from My Father
Read stories of love and hope written by incarcerated fathers for their children
New Life Stories is a non-profit organisation that aims to prevent intergenerational incarceration.
We take on a holistic approach with a child-centric focus to ensure that both the children and their families are supported with the necessary resources to eventually reach high self-efficacy.
Children with incarcerated parents are at increased risk for abuse of drugs and alcohol, engaging in antisocial behaviour, dropping out of school or experiencing a decline in school work as well as having high levels of truancy, aggression, and disruptive behaviours, compared to other children.
