about

Hello there, I’m Claire Olivia (Clarisis Green) — a medical and behavioral health professional, author, motivator, and advocate for healing through truth and faith. I founded Holding Hope Family to help parents and loved ones navigate one of life’s hardest seasons — when someone they love enters the correctional system. Through empathy, guidance, and lived experience, I’ve made it my mission to replace fear with understanding and isolation with community. Here, I share real insight, gentle encouragement, and faith-rooted support to help families hold on to what matters most — hope, love, and connection. “Even in the waiting, healing is happening.”

Welcome to Holding Hope Family

If you’ve found your way here, chances are someone you love is currently incarcerated or recently transferred to a state facility — and you’re searching for answers, comfort, or community.
Take a deep breath — you’re not alone anymore.

Holding Hope Family was created to help parents and loved ones understand what happens after transfer, how to stay connected, and how to care for themselves through the waiting.

This blog will share guidance, faith-based encouragement, and real information about the process — from DIN numbers and visitation to emotional healing and staying strong for your family.

Here, you are seen. You are supported.
And even in silence, hope is still holding you.

“Hope is the bridge between what hurts and what heals.” – Clarisis Green
