North Carolina Families United (NCFamU) STARR Program

The STARR (Start Talking About Rebuilding Relationships) program proposed by North Carolina Families United aims to address the multifaceted challenges faced by incarcerated parents and their families, with a focus on mitigating the adverse effects of parental incarceration. By offering a menu of evidence-based services, including therapy, training, reentry support, and alternative visitation options, the STARR program aims to foster positive relationships and support networks that contribute to successful reentry and reduced recidivism rates. The program's implementation will commence at the Caldwell and Wilkes Correctional Facilities, with plans for expansion to other facilities and areas in North Carolina in subsequent years.
