When caregivers provide their child with dependable and reliable information about his or her parent’s incarceration, they lay the foundation for developing resilience. The disclosure fosters a trusting relationship between the caregiver and child, creating a comfortable environment for the child to ask difficult questions while grieving his or her loss and adjusting to a new reality.

KidsSTEAM
Education and support is correlated to lifelong resilience in children facing adversity. However, oftentimes, it can be difficult to find resources to support a child's individual educational journey. That's why KidsMates has decided to work with children to provide opportunities for STEAM learning.
So, what is STEAM?
-
Science
-
Technology
-
Engineering
-
Art
-
Math
Typically, the barrier to
entry in higher education for
STEAM degrees is a result of
a lack of opportunities during
a child's formative years. However, with KidsSTEAM, we hope that children of incarcerated parents will be able to jumpstart their interest in STEAM careers.
