An Educational Organization for Incarcerated Parents
About Us
Triple C and Me is a 501(c)(3) educational organization dedicated to empowering incarcerated parents with the tools, skills, and strategies they need to maintain and strengthen their relationships with their children during incarceration and beyond.
Our Mission: To serve children of incarcerated parents by equipping those parents with evidence-based parenting skills and actionable plans for nurturing their children. The “Triple C” represents the three critical relationships that shape a child’s experience: the Child, the Caregiver currently caring for them, and the Court system. The “Me” represents the incarcerated parent who has the power to positively influence all three relationships.

Empowers Personal Agency
Recognize that despite your circumstances, you have the power to positively influence your children’s lives and create lasting change in your family’s future.
Our Philosophy
Children Thrive When Their Parents Thrive
We believe that incarceration doesn’t disqualify someone from being a good parent. Instead, we recognize that good parenting is a learned skill—one that can be developed regardless of circumstances or background.
Breaking Cycles, Building Futures
Our core philosophy centers on the power of education and intentional change to break generational patterns of trauma, addiction, and incarceration. We believe that every parent has the capacity to create positive change that ripples through their family and community.
Health, Not Morality
We approach challenges like addiction through a health lens rather than a moral one, reducing shame and stigma while empowering parents to make informed decisions about their wellbeing and their children’s futures.
Relationship-Centered Impact
We understand that children of incarcerated parents exist within a web of relationships—with their parent, their current caregiver, and the court system. Strengthening the parent’s ability to positively influence all three relationships creates the foundation for family healing.
