John Shaw | CPA Fatherhood Program, CPA Family Reunification Program

John Shaw is a man who loves his son. He is also a convicted felon, incarcerated for drug related incidents in Connecticut and Maine, and has lost the right to have visits or contact with his child.  While in prison, John enrolled in CPA’s Fatherhood and Family Reunification programs to learn more about being a good parent in hopes of regaining contact with his son. The program involved John in discussion groups where he could freely talk about love, child support and religion - topics that gave him the perspective he needed to become a role model father. John took the classes twice and built a strong relationship with the program director, who gave him guidance and advice. 

With his parole date just around the corner, John is seeking employment, directing Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and has filed a parental rights appeal in court.
