Educators Resource Toolkit
This toolkit is meant to guide educators and school staff as they seek to see and support children of incarcerated parents in the classroom
Children with incarcerated parents often don't disclose their parent’s incarceration out of fear of how peers, friends, and teachers may respond, and often feel alone in their experience. As part of October's See Us Support Us, youth with incarcerated parents share their "dos and don'ts" that best support them in this video.
