This book highlights the myriad factors that can impact the children of incarcerated parents. It is no secret that the United States continues to be the leading nation for the incarceration of men and women, and this this large prison population includes approximately 120,000 incarcerated mothers and 1.1 million incarcerated fathers. Incarceration of a parent is recognized as an ‘adverse childhood experience’, an acute or chronic situation that for most people is stressful and potentially traumatic. Children of incarcerated parents may experience other adverse childhood experiences such as poverty, homelessness, parental substance abuse and other mental health problems, and family violence. The chapters in this book document some of the challenges as well as some promising ways that can help parents and families begin to meet these challenges. It is our hope that the compendium of chapters presented in this book will be a resource for practitioners, policy makers, educators, researchers, and advocates in their work to ensure that the children of incarcerated parents, their caregivers, and their mothers and fathers, are provided the support they need to address the challenges they face during and after parental incarceration. This book was originally published as a special issue of Smith College Studies in Social Work.

For the nearly 2 million children in the United States whose parents are in prison, caretaking necessary for optimal development is disrupted. These vulnerable youth—a population that has shot up 80 percent in the last 20 years—are more likely to experience learning difficulties, poor health, and substance abuse, and eventually be incarcerated themselves. Addressing the needs of children with imprisoned parents is urgent from corrections, child welfare, health care, and education perspectives. Children of Incarcerated Parents integrates a diverse literature, pulling together rigorous scholarship from criminology, sociology, law, psychiatry, social work, nursing, psychology, human development, and family studies. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers will find in this volume here new directions for research and policies that will improve these children's life chances.

This book examines professional youth mentoring, which is marked by enduring relationships throughout childhood and adolescence between youth and their adult mentors who are embedded within a formal program. It describes the ways in which these mentors – full-time, paid professionals – specialize in helping youth to build the resilience, skills, and hope that prepares them for prosocial success during emerging adulthood and beyond. The book explores the extensive initial and continuing education and skills training that professional youth mentors receive as well as ongoing supervision and support to bolster their effectiveness with children, their families, and systems (e.g., schools, health care) that they interact with regularly. It addresses the scientific and theoretical rationales and potential benefits of professional mentoring, a program model that differs from the current dominant youth mentoring paradigm (i.e., short-term volunteering). Key areas of coverage include: Detailed descriptions of the most prominent professional youth mentoring programs.Social-ecological models of professional youth mentoring.An intensive case study of a mature professional mentoring program, Friends of the Children.Developing and sustaining professional youth mentoring programs.Perspectives from youth, parents and other caregivers, mentors, and program administrators.Youth mentoring programs around the world. The Handbook of Professional Youth Mentoring is a must-have reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and professionals in developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, pediatrics, public health, juvenile justice, sociology of family and youth, prevention science, and all related disciplines.
