Strengthening Idaho's Youth and Families
The Children of Incarcerated Parents project has a simple mission: create awareness and act to assist agencies that serve children of incarcerated parents; to strengthen and meet the fundamental needs of these children; and to stop the cycle of criminality within families.
We have posted several documents to provide information and resources to families that may have a parent behind bars. A good place to begin is to open the educator’s and caregiver’s toolkit. It is a simple tool that will help answer and address the fundamental questions a child’s concerns and fears. Please feel free to print and distribute this toolkit.
