The Prison Children Anonymous Support Group
P.O. Box 343
Central Islip, NY 11722
Life becomes more difficult and stressful for family when a parent or loved one becomes incarcerated. It’s hard for others to understand what we are going through. The PCA Support Group provides a safe, non-judgmental place where those in similar situations can connect with each another. It provides compassion, support and information to family members during their very difficult times. This group meets on the 2nd Tuesday evening of every month at 7:30 pm at the Community Presbyterian Church.
