Timmons, Cynthia L.
Prevention Researcher, v13 n2 p15-17 Apr 2006
The impact of witnessing and living with the arrest and incarceration of a parent is overwhelming for children and families. Numerous efforts have recently begun to assist youth who have a parent in prison. This article discusses two of them: the Children of Promise--Mentors of Hope mentoring program, and "The Children of Incarcerated Parents: A Bill of Rights." (Contains 2 tables.)
