Parent Support Services

Parent Support is a home-based service that provides one on one guidance to parents and guardians on how to positively engage and encourage their child(ren) while teaching the skillset needed to manage their child(ren)’s behaviors and the challenges that are experienced with parenting.  This program’s approach is individualized to determine everyone’s style of parenting, identifying areas of deficits sustained when they were parented, and determine how that aligns with meeting the current needs of their child(ren).  Parents learn how to develop lasting goals for effective and appropriate parenting, recognize age-appropriate child behaviors, discipline vs punishment, setting and maintaining expectations, appropriate boundaries, and maintaining consistency.  Parents are taught to recognize the behaviors that negatively impact their relationship with their child(ren), the triggers that result in angry responses when interacting with their child(ren), how to cope with said triggers and how to regulate their emotions, as well as behaviors and habits that threatens the family’s separation.  They are taught proven tools and techniques they can use in managing behaviors and in improving their relationship with their child(ren) through skill-building and supportive counseling.  Parents are encouraged to practice limit setting and self-care as needed to improve their parenting ability.  Additionally, parents are supported through a variety of interventions needed to ensure the stability of the family to include assessment and treatment planning, budgeting, linkage to resources and programs for identified needs, coordination of care, and recommendations for appropriate service/treatment as needed.  The Parent Support Specialist observes the family unit, the parents’ implementation of skills taught and makes recommendations as appropriate.

​

The service can be provided 5-10 hours a week depending on assessed need and as approved by FAPT.
