The next stage of the project focuses on establishing a clear vision and shared process for how we will work together as a group. This includes defining our approach, assigning research roles, and aligning our responsibilities to ensure effective collaboration. By the end of this stage, we aim to have a well-defined problem statement that we can develop further with guidance from our mentors.

For many individuals leaving prison, rebuilding a stable life depends on three key factors: having supportive relationships, meaningful activities, and safe environments. However, young fathers often lack the guidance and support needed to reconnect with their families and understand their role as a parent, particularly if they have missed key stages of their child’s early life. Without support that addresses these relational and emotional needs, the transition back into society can become isolating and unstable for both the parent and the child.
