Services to Parents

• During the Family Needs Assessment, family support staff will also make referrals to appropriate resources if family health insurance is a concern.

• Through Parent Orientation and the Parent Handbook, parents understand the screening and testing procedures children will receive in the program.

• Each site will provide mental health workshops, mental health consultations, and referrals to parents, as needed.
