Cognita Programs

Family Infrastructure is a program for families raising or supporting children impacted by incarceration.  This includes households where:

• a parent is incarcerated, recently released, or inconsistently present 
• grandparents, relatives, or non-family caregivers are raising children without clear support 
• children are showing signs of disruption, including suspension, expulsion, repeated removal from school, or withdrawal 
• expectations, roles, and daily functioning within the home are inconsistent 
• 
  

This program focuses on:

• helping caregivers manage the day-to-day demands of the household 
• clarifying roles so responsibility is not carried by one person alone 
• supporting school engagement and reducing ongoing disruption 
• addressing conditions that increase the likelihood of continued system involvement for children 

Family Infrastructure is used to interrupt patterns early and support households in maintaining consistency over time.

Cognitia Inside is a program used within correctional and institutional settings.  It is designed for individuals who are currently incarcerated.  This program focuses on:

• preparing individuals for return to the community with a defined approach to daily life 
• establishing how decisions, time, and responsibilities will be handled after release 
• connecting what is addressed inside with what will be required outside 
• reducing repeated system involvement 

As part of this process, each individual develops an Individual Life Plan.  The Individual Life Plan is a working plan built prior to release that organizes:

• housing expectations 
• employment direction 
• daily responsibilities 
• support systems and points of contact 

It is not a general plan or a set of goals.

It is used as a reference for how life will be managed after release and what must be followed to remain in the community.

Cognitia Inside ensures individuals are not returning without a defined plan in place.
