Summary/Abstract: Children of incarcerated individuals constitute an at-risk group vulnerable to exclusion, social maladjustment, and criminality. Interventions aimed at them primarily in- volve establishing community-based support networks and resources. Building supportive re- lationships within the community enables youth facing parental incarceration to overcome challenges.One such intervention is mentoring. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of evaluative research concerning mentor-mentee relationship-based programs. However, the studies conducted so far suggest that it can yield positive outcomes, mitigating some of the risks associated with parental incarceration.
