This document outlines the core concepts of the L.O.R.T.E. (Levels of Response to Traumatic Events) Model developed by Joyce Dixson Haskett. The model is designed to provide caregivers, professionals, and family members with a framework for understanding and effectively supporting children of incarcerated parents. Haskett draws on her personal experience as an incarcerated mother to highlight the unique challenges faced by these children and argues for a more unified and informed approach to their care, focusing on understanding the trauma associated with parental incarceration and building resilience. The L.O.R.T.E. Model identifies four key stages that children experience: The Event, Saturation, Blaming, and Outcome. The overarching goal is to prevent intergenerational incarceration by addressing the specific emotional and psychological needs of this vulnerable population.
