RICHMOND-PERRINE OPTIMIST CLUB - PARENT SUPPORT PROGRAM

Description:

The Parent Support Program will provide parents with education and skills training involving activities that promote two-way communication regarding parental responsibility, appropriate child rearing techniques, family budgeting and household maintenance.

To do this, the Nurturing Parent Program (NPP) will be utilized, which is an evidence-based model of family/parent education that engages the whole family in either a group or home-based setting. Due to the cultural and socio-economic factors within the target geographical area of the program, NPP has been enhanced by adding an emergency assistance component to provide one time emergency financial support to needy families.

The ultimate outcome of this program is to stop the generational cycle of child abuse by building nurturing parenting skills and lowering the number of multiple pregnancies to teenage parents as well as reducing the rates of recidivism, juvenile delinquency and alcohol abuse.
