When parents are incarcerated, often there are devastating consequences for their children. The rate of women serving time in prison has increased, leaving many children of inmates with extended family and foster homes. Because of the stigma experienced by previously incarcerated people, many parents find it extremely hard to regain custody of their children, even after they're released from jail. Join Nurse Rona, Robin Rederford, Community Liaison for Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, and Cari Santibanes, LCSW, Director of Services at Friends Outside, to discuss the challenges that families with incarcerated parents face.

Child abuse occurs every day in every neighborhood. When a child is neglected or mistreated, physically or verbally, the consequences can last a lifetime and affect a whole community. Join Rona and guest, Dr. Chris Stewart, MD, Director of Inpatient Pediatrics at San Francisco General Hospital, and Abigail Stewart-Kahn, MSW, Director of New Programming at the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center, for a discussion of how to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect.
