Programs
Family Strengthening — because incarceration affects everyone.
Amachi Pittsburgh views parental incarceration as a family issue — affecting children, adults, relationships, and family functioning. Families need instrumental, emotional, and social support. Our services are designed to reduce trauma and increase healthy family functioning, with help from a strong network of community partners.
