Parent and family support
Every family can be a part of our parent and family program. This program includes:- Helping you help yourself: We invite parents to share anything they would like to about their children. What you know about your child’s needs and what they are good at is very important and useful.
- Parent meetings: We offer parent meetings on the last Wednesday of the month at Community Partnerships, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Your CCF Coordinator can help provide transportation if you need it. Child care is always available at the office for children during these meetings. Meetings have been on special education, the juvenile courts and other areas important to CCF families. A meal is provided at 6:30 p.m., where parents and children can eat together with staff members attending the meeting. The topics for monthly parent meetings are from parent’s ideas.
- Help from the Family Advocate: The family advocate is available to work with individuals and families. Some of the types of help that can be provided are: attending school meetings, placements, court, team meetings, mentoring either a parent or child, providing transportation for the parent or child, helping the parent with budgeting issues and providing information.
- Parent involvement after leaving the CCF program: When the child leaves the CCF program, parents can still stay involved with the parent meetings and other groups. The parent advocate welcomes questions and updates on how you are doing anytime.
