ECHOES OF INCARCERATION: VISITING - THROUGH THE YOUTH LENS - DVD

VISITING - THROUGH THE YOUTH LENS 

Created in collaboration with Sesame Street and UpWorthy, this film premiered at the White House in 2014, and focuses on the importance of maintaining contact while a parent is incarcerated. Research has shown that a sustained relationship with a parent in prison is one the strongest factors in both reducing a child's trauma, and also in reducing that parent's rate of recidivism. Yet children often face huge resistance to visiting a parent. This film digs into the challenges, sorrows, and incredible joys of visiting a parent in prison, and addresses one of the deepest misconceptions that children with incarcerated parents face.
