Learning from Youth Who Have an Incarcerated Parent: 2016 Listening Session

The listening session brought together 19 youth, ages 15 to 23, to discuss the challenges they had during their parent's incarceration and their ideas for how the government could better support them and their families.

Participants’ ideas and feedback from the session were used to inform these products:
