Mission Statement:

The Montana Alliance for Families Touched by Incarceration (MAFTI) is a community-based branch of a non-profit organization, whose mission is to provide support and advocacy for families touched by incarceration in Montana.  Our goal is to empower each individual; the child, the caregiver and the parent who has been incarcerated.

I have the right...

• to be kept safe and informed at the time of my parent's arrest.
• to be heard when decisions are made about me. 
• to be considered when decisions are made about me.
• to be well cared for in my parent's absence. 
• to speak with, see and touch my parent. 
• to be supported as I face my parent's incarceration. 
• not to be judged, blamed or labeled because my parent is incarcerated. 
• to a lifelong relationship with my parents.
