Cjhchildrenfamiliesfig1standalone2

Last month, HPIO released a new policy brief that explores the impact of parental criminal justice involvement on the health, safety and well-being of children and families in Ohio.

The brief is the latest in a series of HPIO publications on the connections between criminal justice and health.

The new brief explores the generational cycle of justice involvement, as illustrated above, and includes a collection of evidence-informed policy options that leaders across the state can act on to prevent and mitigate the impacts of parental justice involvement on children and families.

HPIO will host a webinar on the topic at 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 12. The event will include HPIO Policy and Evaluation Specialist Jacob Santiago and guest speaker Kim Kehl of the Ohio Department of Children and Youth.
