Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
This Prevention and Family Preservation project will heighten awareness, promote family ownership to problem solving, offer a non-threatening connection, pre- and post-stabilization family support systems, and linking referral resources.

Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
Hertiage is providing hands-on guidance and direction through monthly support group meetings, scheduled family support-parenting classes, neighborhood networks, and other collaborative partnerships. The state would benefit from simply implementing a similar model, that has measured outcomes of a peer-support linkage at the community base that promotes ownership to problem solving, and resolutions to the recurring and raising trends of child abuse and domestic violence issues. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||

In order to successfully complete the program participants may miss no more than one session of a class series. 1. a decrease in the number of at-risk families in District VII; 2. a decrease in the number of adoption disruptions; 3. an increase on the number of adoptive-foster placements; 4. an increase in the number of families seeking preventive services. |
