Ormiston Families’ Breaking Barriers service provides support for children and young people affected by the imprisonment of a close family member.

By providing a safe space for them to talk, play and express themselves, we enable children and young people to explore their feelings and break down some of the barriers which may prevent them from maintaining positive ties with their imprisoned family member.

They have produced a video which shows us what life can be like when you have a loved one in prison, what it is like to visit them, and ways you can feel better about it. Click here to view the video : https://youtu.be/BkFgxo7WrD4?feature=shared
