NC-TAC Webinar: Invisible Sentence-Recognizing, Supporting, and Advocating for Children of Incarcerated and Returning Parents
On any given day, there are an estimated 2.7 million children in the US with at least one incarcerated parent (21,000+ in NC), with more than 5.2 million children (160,000 in NC) having experienced parental incarceration at some point in their lives. This session will focus on what we know about the children and the impact of parental incarceration and re-entry, resource and data gaps, ways to collaborate and partner to better meet their needs, and the importance of including children’s voices. Participants will be encouraged to take what they learn back to their own professional settings to continue the conversation there and determine appropriate next steps.
