OVERVIEW The Parent Partner Program is designed to provide better outcomes around child abuse, re- abuse and reunification. The goal of the Parent Partner Mentor is to assist birth parents to be successful in completing case plan goals and navigate through the child welfare and substance abuse systems. Parent Partners also work with community based organizations to provide resources for families.

Goal Parent Partner Mentors are selected based upon their interpersonal skills, successes and proven abilities to overcome obstacles. All Parent Partners have past involvement with the Department of Human Services due to child protection issues and have had their children removed for a time, with successful reunification. It is these experiences that make Parent Partners so beneficial to families who are currently receiving Department of Human Services due to child protection issues. Parent Partners are able to offer hope, realistic advice and advocacy for families. In addition, they form a critical link between the Department of Human Services worker, other professionals and the family.
