    Pillars<\/strong>
    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.
