| Project Description: |
| The development and implementation of a community-based neighborhood service center which will promote the well being of children and families and increase parent's confidence and competence in their parenting abilities, focus on health prevention and child abuse prevention. The target population will be families at risk for neglect and/or abuse. Services to be provided will be family support services, parenting education, mental health prevention, health prevention, health screening, education, nutrition counseling, teenage pregnancy prevention, HIV/AIDS prevention, diabetes and hypertension education. There will also be pre-placement prevention services to help children at risk of foster care placement to remain safely with their families. It will reduce the amount of funds currently needed for emergency and advance care (long term and critical care). Educated parents and children will engage in better health practices and have a better functioning family. The family will become empowered to advocate and solve its problems. |
