New Podcast Episode: Advocating for Families Impacted by Parental Incarceration with Melissa Carter

When a parent is incarcerated, children may experience separation, uncertainty, and disruption that can affect their well-being and family relationships. In the latest CASA on the Go episode, we’re joined by Melissa Carter, Clinical Professor of Law and Executive Director of Emory University’s Barton Child Law and Policy Center, to explore how parental incarceration impacts children and families involved in the child welfare system. Drawing on research, legal expertise, and the experiences of impacted families, Melissa shares practical strategies CASA volunteers can use to support healthy family connections, recognize and challenge bias, and advocate for outcomes that help children and families heal and thrive.
