Target Population: Prospective foster and adoptive families in both public and private agencies.
Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Partnering for Safety and Permanence - Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting (PS-MAPP) has been reviewed by the CEBC in the areas of Placement Stabilization and Resource Parent Recruitment and Training, but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating. PS-MAPP is a 30-hour preparation and selection program for prospective foster and adoptive parents. PS-MAPP was the first comprehensive preparation and selection program for foster and/or adoptive parents to be developed since the passage of the Adoption and Safe Families Act in 1997. PS-MAPP was created out of consultations with the National Foster Parent Association Board of Directors and out of years of experience with the MAPP (Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting) family of programs.
