Preventing Generations of Incarceration Failsafe-ERA Forum

This forum will focus on the over three million children impacted by increased criminal activities and generational incarceration that continues to rise. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), which include a family member being incarcerated, have increased trauma and mental health issues for children and their families. The reciprocal effect of traumatic events has seen an increase in the generational school to prison pipeline. This forum will highlight the impact of incarceration on our community and families revealing the need for an increased focus on educating professionals. Join us for interactive discussions on what is currently known about the impact of incarceration on families and obtain tools and resources for supporting these children and their families.
