To strengthen the connection between incarcerated parents and their families while facilitating ties to their community through education and support.

The History

To meet the need of supporting incarcerated families in New Hampshire, the Family Connections Center was created in 1998.This Center is a family support program located in the State of New Hampshire Department of Corrections. Family Connections Center started programs at a co-ed medium and minimum-security prison in Laconia, NH. The original program was set up as collaboration between the NH Department of Corrections, the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Family Studies Department. Since 1998, the Family Connections Center (FCC) has formed new collaborations and has expanded to other correctional facilities.
