In 2010, at the suggestion of California State Senator Carol Liu, “Talk About Parenting” worked with former inmate Gloria Barrios to redesign the classes the non-profit organization offered to the general population, adapting them to fit the needs of mothers behind bars. Moseley says: “Talk About Parenting is doing such critical work. When incarcerated mothers improve parenting practices, their children’s adjustment to both incarceration and reentry improves, and families are strengthened.”
“Talk About Parenting”’s classes are in their third year at the California Institution for Women in Corona, and are completely filled. In fact, there are over 100 mothers on the wait list.
Smith says: “Moseley’s unwavering support of the underserved and Flintridge Center’s work to reintegrate previously incarcerated individuals back into the community reduces recidivism and blends well with our organization’s mission of improving and strengthening the quality of family life, thereby benefiting the broader community.”
“Mothers Behind Bars: The Parent Puzzle” benefit event will be held Sunday, October 27, from 3-5 PM at Hillsides, 940 Avenue 64, in Pasadena.
Speakers for the event include: Gloria Barrios, a mother and former inmate; State Senator Carol Liu; Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich; and CIW Deputy Chief Warden Kimberly Hughes.
Recipient of the organization’s Humanitarian Award will be Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marguerite D. Downing.
Lois Brand Billings is chair of the event. To attend, please RSVP on the organization’s website at .talkaboutparenting.org For further information call 626-296-2777.
