EXTRACT: Former Tasmanian Australian of the Year Rosie Martin and her charity (Connect42) has run the Circle of Security program with both men and women in Tasmania’s Risdon Prison Complex. “We’ll be able to deliver about 15 cycles of the program,” Ms Martin said.
ABC News reports on Connect42’s (formerly Chatter Matters Tasmania) parenting program funding boost. About 150 Tasmanian prisoners are to take part in a program designed to improve parenting and family connections, after what is believed to have been a world-first pilot program was rolled out.
