Who knew that an invisible necklace could be such a source of comfort? Jasmine knows. She is 9 years old, and her mother is incarcerated out of state. Jasmine is not able to visit often and sometimes she is unable to sleep because she is thinking of her mother.
Her father gave her an invisible necklace to wear at night to help with the sleeplessness. Images such as these can help children handle the loss of a parent due to incarceration. In addition to being imaginative, Jasmine is artistic, which can be a way for children to express themselves and cope with their stress and anxiety.
Arkansas Voices for the Children Left Behind has visited Jasmine and her father in their home, providing support and counseling. Jasmine's father is grateful for the support they have received. "Arkansas Voices has not only helped my child endure being separated from my wife, but I believe we are a stronger, more loving family as a result...we know now what really matters."
Arkansas Voices works with many families like Jasmine and her father, providing support during the parent's incarceration and re-entry. To learn more about Arkansas Voices, visit our website at www.arkansasvoices.org.
