The Parent Aide Program
The Parent Aide program is a family support and prevention program. This program engages New Vision Youth & Community Services Team Members to provide parenting education, training, and support to families through home based services. Parent Aide services can be a crucial component of a family reunification case/service plan. Parent Aide services may be appropriate for increasing certain cognitive, behavioral, and emotional capacities and enhancing the parents’ ability to protect their children from harm and danger.
