Doctoral student Amanda Cruce contributed to two recent publications on parental incarceration and best practices for child welfare agencies to keep children connected to their parents. For children who experience time in child welfare, there are limited policies around contact with parents who are incarcerated and these relationships often go unnurtured. The Knowledge Management Lived Experience Advisory Group involved in the two briefs consisted of birth parents, foster parents, kinship caregivers, and young adults that spent time in foster care: How can child protection agencies support children spending time with their parents who are incarcerated? and What should child protection agencies consider when working with children whose parent or primary caregiver is incarcerated?
