Out of the Ashes Live Drama Therapy Presentation

One on One Sessions

Individual engagement is critical to emotional connection and development. Many of our youth are not afforded the necessary face time with qualified adults to assist them in processing the complexities of an incarcerated parent. The incarceration of a parent is a specific form of trauma that cannot be arbitrarily lump in with other traumas.  The Out of the Ashes counseling team is a fully trained and certified staff with over 10 years working with youth and young adults experiencing trauma and problem behaviors related to an incarcerated parent.

Parent Coaching

The old adage is “There is no manual to parenting.” This is true, but if you ask most parents they have learned valuable lessons from others along the way. Out of the Ashes understands the need to help people with reentering their parental role. The Out of the Ashes team provides both individual and group counseling.

Guest Lecture

" But never have I been so moved by a film as I was by this one. After I reviewed it, I told our staff we had to do something we'd never done before--partner with its creators to produce a version of it that others can use in their work with dads, their children, and their families. -Chris Brown "
