The Ongoing Challenge: This is a moving and informative look into what it takes to succeed after incarceration from the female perspective. This was designed to be gender specific, however, it has a great impact on the male inmates and ex-offenders as well.

Hope, Healing and Change: Abuse takes on many forms, not just physical but emotional, sexual, and controlling behavior. Through women's experiences you see how they have worked past them to break the cycle. Discussed in an open and sometimes very emotional way.

Parenting After Prison: Parenting can be difficult at best for someone who is at home, however, the incarcerated parent or an ex-offender has added pressure. PAP helps to start the process by teaching skills to parent from prison. Some of the topics that are covered include effective communication, visitation, working with the caregiver, helping the child understand, stress and coping, discipline from a distance, and reunification.
Winner of the 2002 Communicators Award.
