Children of prisoners are the most vulnerable in our community.

When a parent goes to prison, the children left behind have an uncertain future. As well as the possibility of less family resources or a change of school or caregiver, they must also learn to live with the stigma of being the child of a person in prison.

And none of this is the fault of the child.

Pillars works with these children and their families to help them all have lives which are positive and contribute to healthy and successful futures.

We do this through programmes which range across mentoring for the children and wrap around services for the families and whanau. We work in prisons and the community and have a team of well trained, experienced staff around the country.

Pillars is committed to helping every child become the best person they choose to be in the future.
