Mentoring Parent Coaching

Adopt-A-Parent program is designed to provide a support mechanism for parents in crisis. The program is a short term, crisis intervention for parents in their own homes. Services are implemented in order to stabilize families, promote safety, prevent out of home placement, and maintain children in their current living situation. When possible senior volunteers are utilized and placed in the homes where parents may be accused of child abuse and neglect.These Grandmothers are used as inter-generational mentors designed to employ seniors that will augment the Adopt-A-Parent Program with providing hands-on parenting skills training in the home, resulting in the ultimate goal of maintaining the family unit intact.
