• Types of Maltreatment: Does not target any specific kind of maltreatment

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.
