Abstract
The social emotional development of children is impacted significantly when a parent is incarcerated. Children with incarcerated parents have lower self-esteem, a reduced sense of self efficacy, and higher rates of various physical and mental health problems. The impact of incarceration differs among children and adolescents; therefore, school counselors must be cognizant on the various ways to provide support. Come LEARN how to provide SUPPORT to children who have experienced the incarceration of a parent.
