Incarceration doesn’t just separate bodies—it tests the very foundation of relationships. The physical distance, crushing financial stress, forced role changes, and relentless uncertainty create perfect conditions for relationships to crumble. Yet some couples don’t just survive this crucible—they emerge stronger, more connected, and better equipped for life together.
Growing Together exists to make that transformation possible for every couple willing to do the work. This intensive 12-week program recognizes a truth that other interventions miss: you can’t strengthen a relationship by working with only one person. Both partners participate fully—attending separate weekly support groups, completing individual workbook exercises, and having structured couple conversations each week. Through this three-pronged approach, couples learn and immediately practice essential skills: active listening that creates genuine understanding, conflict resolution that solves problems instead of creating bigger ones, trust-building through small consistent actions, co-parenting strategies that keep both parents meaningfully involved, financial planning that reduces a primary source of stress, and realistic reentry preparation that sets couples up for success rather than disappointment.
What makes Growing Together uniquely effective is its foundation in both evidence-based relationship science and the lived reality of incarceration’s impact on families. The curriculum draws from decades of research on what makes relationships succeed, adapted specifically for the extraordinary challenges of physical separation, limited communication, financial crisis, parenting from different locations, and navigating reentry. Participants aren’t just taught theory—they practice skills in real-time with their partners each week, troubleshoot challenges in supportive group settings, and build a community of people who truly understand what they’re facing.
The program is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and built on the fundamental belief that relationships can grow through adversity when couples have the right tools, support, and commitment. The results speak powerfully: couples who complete Growing Together will have significantly improved communication, more constructive conflict resolution, stronger trust, better co-parenting partnerships, reduced financial stress, deeper emotional connection, and greater hope for their future together. More importantly, they report feeling equipped—not just hopeful, but actually prepared with concrete skills they use daily. This isn’t about magical fixes or unrealistic promises. It’s about two people choosing each other, learning to communicate and resolve conflict effectively, building trust through consistent actions, supporting each other’s growth, and facing their future as a team. Growing Together provides the roadmap. Participants provide the commitment. Together, they create relationships that don’t just survive incarceration—they thrive beyond it
