We are excited to share that on 12/23, Gov.Andrew M. Cuomo signed the Proximity Bill (S724A/A6710A) into law, representing a huge victory & welcome news for children & their families who until now have often had to travel long distances to visit an incarcerated parent. (1/6)

#SeeUsSupportUs Tip #3 for educators: Help decrease stigma and isolation students with incarcerated parents may feel by including books about children with incarcerated parents in classrooms and libraries: https://t.co/FMouWCW8qb

[Osborne Association @OsborneNY]

Educators: Consider the language, narratives, and teaching resources you use. Thoughtfully including the experiences of children w/incarcerated parents in teaching lessons is an opportunity to change harmful narratives and help students feel comfortable sharing their experience.

[Osborne Association @OsborneNY]

#SeeUsSupportUs Tip #4 for Educators: Be mindful and critical of the narratives and statistics in the news, movies, music, research, etc. that dehumanize incarcerated people BIPOC communities, and families with incarcerated loved ones.

(2/2) 2.) Listening more. Be ok with silence. Your presence and willingness to listen is supportive. 3.) Affirming what they are experiencing and feeling while reassuring them that they are not alone and not responsible for what has happened with their parent.

[Osborne Association @OsborneNY]

(1/2): #SeeUsSupportUs tip for educators: When a student with an incarcerated parent shares their experience with you, keep the conversation open-ended by: 1.) Asking about their feelings and what they need rather than asking why the parent is incarcerated

Week #2 of #SeeUsSupportUs and 5 Tips for Educators. Tip #2 is to be collaborative and reach out for support. Teachers are often overburdened with the unrealistic responsibility to meet the myriad of needs of all of their students. You can't do this alone.

“Me and my father’s relationship is inconsistent because he is 8 hours away. So, I don’t really have much of a father figure." @NYGovCuomo please #SeeUsSupportUs and sign Proximity Bill A6710A that will move incarcerated parents closer to home.

[Carmen De La Rosa @CnDelarosa]

Proud to join @OsborneNY to raise awareness about the plight of children with incarcerated parents. In NYS there are 100k children with an incarcerated parent, they have the right to a full relationship. We See You, We Support You!
