The
goal of the Professional Parent Services (PPS) family preservation program
is to strengthen families in order to prevent unnecessary out-of-home placements
by providing skills needed to:
-
Utilize preventive medical care; and
-
Be as economically independent of the welfare
system as possible.
-
Provide a safe, healthy environment for all
members of the family;
-
Provide positive and appropriate parenting;
-
Provide nutritious meal planning and
preparation;
-
Utilize preventive medical care; and
Direct
and immediate in-home services are provided to families at risk of having their
child enter an out-of-home placement or families who have a child in an
out-of-home placement and re-unification is the treatment goal. Parent
Aides provide services in nurturing, discipline, praise, expectations, and
special needs in the areas of home management, money management, personal care
and hygiene, basic parenting skills, and nutritional education. In
addition, the Parent Aides collaborate with area service providers such as
mental health, social services, Court Service Units, and the schools to ensure
that services for the referring family are effectively and efficiently
coordinated.
