For parents who did not live with their child prior to incarceration, or for whom that relationship was not yet established, exploring and encouraging contact even absent that prior relationship still may be beneficial. A child having a relationship with both parents can be important for identity development and a positive sense of self. Child protection agencies should provide youth with opportunities to assert their feelings about the type of contact and relationship they want to have with the parent who is incarcerated.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s2\"><b>Frequency, consistency, and quality of contact. <\/b><\/span>Research suggests that parent-child connection can be a protective factor when visits are frequent, consistent, and predictable, and when parents are sensitive and responsive to children\u2019s needs.<a href=\"#footnotes\"><sup>11<\/sup><\/a> Visits paired with a program tailored to children of parents who are incarcerated, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parentinginsideout.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Parenting Inside Out<\/span><\/a>, can both improve the quality of parent-child interaction and yield greater benefits in terms of reducing children\u2019s anxiety, depression, and externalizing behavior.<a href=\"#footnotes\"><sup>12<\/sup><\/a> Assessing and regularly reassessing the needs of each child and family is critical, as is identifying alternative forms of contact if the existing visiting arrangement is detrimental to the child. While most prison and jail visiting rooms and visitation processes are not child-friendly, visiting with the proper preparation and support has been found to be beneficial in most cases.<a href=\"#footnotes\"><sup>13<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s2\"><b>Behavioral health.<\/b><\/span> Parental drug use and\/or mental health concerns may have impacted the parent-child relationship prior to incarceration. However, it\u2019s important to consider that some parents receive needed substance use or mental health treatment while in prison that may make them more suited and available for connection than before they were incarcerated. These potential changes in circumstances should be considered.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s2\"><b>Age.<\/b><\/span> The child\u2019s age is an important consideration when determining the type and frequency of contact that is most beneficial. In-person visits in facilities with strict security measures that are not tailored to children\u2019s needs (such as visits through glass barriers) may be too frightening for younger children. Adolescents may need support navigating the parent-child relationship as they assert greater independence and autonomy, and they may be concerned about the time that visits take away from other activities (such as sports, friendships, and other developmentally important interests).<a href=\"#footnotes\"><sup>14<\/sup><\/a> This can be an opportunity to explore video visits and provide options that allow the youth to have both: their activities and a relationship with the parent.<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s2\"><b>Safety.<\/b><\/span> In the small percentage of cases in which a parent is incarcerated due to a crime or violence against the child, their caregiver, or another family member, tremendous caution is warranted. This history should be noted in the child\u2019s file and each new caregiver or caseworker should be informed of any potential safety concerns.
