ODRC Implementation

The Ohio Children of Incarcerated Parents (CIP) Initiative partners with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) to connect individuals with re-entry services upon their release. Eight ODRC institutions have implemented the cognitive behavioral program Creating Lasting Family Connections (CLFC). We are continuing to expand into new facilities across multiple regions with a vision toward making a statewide impact.

A pre-post survey analysis of SFY18 and SFY19 participants in ODRC facilities shows statistically significant improvement in eight out of nine relationship skills:

Communication Skills 
Conflict Resolution Skills
Intrapersonal Skills
Emotional Awareness Skills
Emotional Expression Skills
Interpersonal Skills
Relationship Management Skills
Relationship Satisfaction
       Relationship Commitment
