Currently, more than 2.7 million children in the U.S. have an incarcerated parent; that is 1 in 28 school-aged children. [1] Furthermore, approximately 10 million children have experienced parental incarceration at some point in their lives. [2] Having a parent in prison can impact a child’s mental health, social behavior, health, and educational performance. [3] ND Prevention’s second webinar for FY 2018-19 focuses on the needs of children who have a parent who is incarcerated. In particular, presenters addressed how schools and school personnel can support the child, his/her caregiver and parent in a positive manner.
The webinar featured:
- National data on students impacted by incarceration;
- Prominent frameworks, practices and strategies;
- Supports and services children with incarcerated parents can benefit from;
- A local program highlight from the Osborne Center for Justice Across Generations; and
- A child and parent perspective.
