| dc.description.abstract | One of the largest at-risk populations in the United States is children with incarcerated parents. At the same time, across the globe, opioid use has spiraled into a public health crisis. Given the intersection between opioid use disorder and incarceration, with more than one fourth of people with opioid use disorder (OUD) passing through prisons and jails every year, this population needs interventions relevant to their lived experiences. Over the last decade, there has been an increase in the use of strength-based approaches in fields such as social work and education, but these types of approaches have yet to be thoroughly investigated in the discipline of criminal justice. In the current study, twelve participants who identified as parents with histories of corrections-involvement and opioid misuse participated in semi-structured interviews that asked them about their experience navigating reentry and what they saw as their greatest strengths as parents. Six subordinate themes emerged under the umbrella of parenting strengths: resilience, resource acquisition, spending time together, communication, putting their child(ren) first, and openness/acceptance. These themes are discussed in the context of existing parenting theories. Implications for practice are provided. | en_US |
