The "Supporting Adolescents with Incarcerated Parents" Resource Kit is a new tool designed to help engage both youth and the adults who work with youth, in a dialogue about the day-to-day experiences many youth face when they have a parent in prison. Through research and the voices of youth, readers will better understand how parental incarceration affects both adolescents and their families.

Providing strategies for supporting youth and their families this kit is a must have for any counselor, educator, social worker, probation officer, juvenile or family court judge.

"The Resource Kit is absolutely amazing. I used it to create a mini-lesson plan for my 7th and 8th graders." -- Kimberly Liddell-Love, Educator, Detroit Michigan Public Schools
