Description

For too long, the adverse impacts of parental incarceration have remained in the shadows. This book, along with its companion volume, Children of Imprisoned Parents: A Guide to Holistic Caregiver and Child Well-Being (ISBN 978-1-4766-8716-2), illuminates the hidden challenges. Through an empowering journey, the authors help caregivers expand their understanding of children's stress-response systems, allowing them to recognize how anxiety and grief may manifest in a child's daily behaviors. This comprehensive workbook provides caregivers with a safe space to practice, role-play, and tailor their responses to seemingly challenging situations typically associated with parental incarceration. Ultimately, users will learn how to forge strong connections between primary caregivers and their children. In a novel extension of the primary workbook content, the use of bibliotherapy-based children's books equips caregivers to better comprehend children's withdrawal, stigma, sadness, anger, and even perceived acting out in the home or classroom. Caregiver-led reading activities provide a perspective through which storybook characters show children that they are not alone in their circumstances.

Geoffrey Alan Johnson possesses a distinctive combination of experience in law enforcement, research, and non-profit leadership.

He is the author of handbooks on family member incarceration and has created children's books to help youth better grasp the related complexities. Renata A. Hedrington-Jones is a university educator and researcher focused on the role of social workers and human services professionals in helping families with reintegration after incarceration.
