Children Left Behind by Incarcerated Mothers Children of incarcerated mothers are often overlooked, making them some of the most vulnerable members of our society. By raising awareness and fostering supportive environments, we can mitigate the adverse effects they face and provide them with a better chance at a stable and hopeful future. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that these children are not left behind, and mothers' incarceration should be a last resort option and always prioritise children's best interests. Society can support children of incarcerated mothers by raising awareness, fostering supportive environments, and implementing policies and programs that not only address the root causes of incarceration but also extend compassion and support to these innocent children who bear the brunt of its consequences. Additionally, creating equitable workplaces for working mothers and providing support groups and counselling can help mitigate the adverse effects these children face.

Promising. Every step forward in recognizing Caregiving Youth in the United States is a Big Deal. Let's work together to leverage this press that raises awareness of young caregivers to take purposeful action: "We need to identify and support these kids, including, but not limited to, organized government data collection and targeted social policies." Yesterday, Wall Street Journal published an article by Clare Ansberry (featuring American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY) | 'Millions of American Kids Are Caregivers Now: ‘The Hardest Part Is That I’m Only 17’ - "An estimated 5.4 million children help care for relatives, as families can’t afford or find other in-home care" https://lnkd.in/eakkByTf Tonight, 60 Minutes will air | Children of War I Sunday on 60 Minutes "Scott Pelley reports on America’s children of war, often overlooked, who live with disabled military veterans. Millions of kids are stepping up to help wounded warriors and their families deal with the emotional and physical trauma of service." (featuring The Elizabeth Dole Foundation) https://lnkd.in/eX4e_3q7 There's been a bit of positive momentum lately. It feels like the tide is showing promising signs of turning for these kids. We need to keep pushing for their sake. #CaregivingYouth #KidsAreCaregiversToo #YoungCarers #YoungCaregivers #AwareTheyCare #Caregivers
