Abstract
In the year 2000, Action for Prisoners' Families (formerly the Federation of Prisoners' Families Support Groups) began a three-year project to identify and address the needs of teenagers with a close family member in prison. During 2001–02, the Young People's Project developed three pilot projects designed to act on the findings from our research conducted in 2000 with 53 young people living in London, Durham and Manchester. The Young People's Project (YPP) will conclude in January 2003 with a conference to highlight the issues for young people with a prisoner in the family and the models of support piloted by the project.
