A University and Child Protective Services Collaboration to Provide Effective Parent Education (Poster Session 9)
A University and Child Protective Services Collaboration to
Provide Effective Parent Education
(Poster Session 9)
A university and a Child Protective Service (CPS) agency collaborated to provide an effective parent education program to families whose adolescent children were in protective custody or at risk of placement. This session focuses on the value of university-CPS collaboration; presents a method for delivery of parent education to families with adolescent children in CPS custody; identifies resources contributed by each group; and outlines ways to meet the challenges of implementing and maintaining the program. Initial evaluation data indicate that parenting skills are improved by program participation and that CPS staff find the program easy to administer.
