Our Work
CCCIP strives to promote positive change in the recognition and support for children with incarcerated parents by convening people and resources to demonstrate the need for and benefits of specialized supports.
Amplifying Research
Since children of incarcerated parents are not recognized as a distinct marginalized subgroup in Canada, until recently, virtually all the research used to advocate for and develop specialized supports was conducted in other countries. While valuable, international research does not fully reflect Canadian realities. CCCIP both helps foster research collaborations and amplifies the results of our members’ work to help raise awareness of children’s needs and advocate for children’s rights to be prioritized by Canada’s justice system.
Canadian Resource Library
In one place, our Resource Library brings together Canadian research, white papers, information and tools to support children who experience parental incarceration.

Networking
CCCIP provides a variety of opportunities for members to connect, share and collaborate, from monthly meetings, to special interest committees, to partnering on member-led projects.
As well, CCCIP is an access point for funders, donors and media to find experts working to conduct Canadian research and develop innovative programming across the country.
