Family Support Group

CFCN's Family Support Group

CFCN hosts a virtual support group in English on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at 7:30 PM EST.

We offer correctional information, support, and self-care tools for those with a family member in the justice system.

If you are interested in joining the Support Group, email us at supportgroup@cfcn-rcafd.org.

Interested in starting your own support group?

We created A Guide to Setting up a Family Support Group. It offers answers to any questions with tips and ideas
to help begin and lead a group.
