Type of Maltreatment: Not specified
Target Population: Parents involved with Department of Human Services’ Child Protective Services
Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Parent Partners – Iowa has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of Parent Partner Programs for Families Involved in the Child Welfare System, but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating. Parent Partners – Iowa uses an approach that not only celebrates individuals that have overcome obstacles through change, recovery, and accountability, but also uses their skills to mentor families who are currently navigating through the Department of Human Services as their children are in foster or kinship care. These Parent Partners demonstrate advocacy and effective communication, while holding families accountable.
