About CFCN
At CFCN, we are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of families affected by criminal behaviour, incarceration, and reintegration.
We understand the emotional, social, and economic impact that crime can have on families, and we work to provide support and resources to help them navigate these challenges.
Our resources and programs are designed to help families stay connected with their loved ones before incarceration, during, and at reintegration.
We need Families!
Families hold a special place in the correctional system! No government department or community group can do all the things that a family does. Families assist by visiting, supporting their inside person, giving them money for phone cards or canteen items, etc. Once they leave prison, families often help their reintegrating person with food, clothing, housing, employment, and social activities.
​
Families work hard as they find their way through the correctional system, keep their family together, and ask for accountability while supporting their inside person.
​
Research has proven that if the family stays connected, it helps the family, and the reintegrating person. They re-offend less often and have a greater chance at a successful life. So Canadian Families and Corrections Network works to keep those families strong - offering them resources, support, programming, and helping as we can as an asset to reintegration and public safety for the entire community.
