I would be interested in obtaining this info as well.  We are looking to add
a prevention program targeting families at risk or currently dealing with
domestic violence issues.  Currently we are primarily an intervention
program dealing with children who have been abused, but also see the overlap
and see these families as a huge underserved client population.  Please
forward any info you receive to me if you don't mind.

Rick Barth's message made me wonder. Does anyone have programs re: parent
training, which address it within the context of domestic violence and/or
chemical dependency. Since research tells us that child maltreatment often
(50% of the time) overlaps with either one or both, how are we dealing with
that in parenting programs?

Thanks,
Anna

I am hoping to learn more about procedures in use by child welfare
agencies to provide information to courts about the progress that
parents have
made during parent training--information that goes beyond whether or not
parents completed the course/program and that addresses what they did
and
learned in the course. (Apologies to those on the ISPCAN list who also
read this request,
you need read no farther.)

I'd welcome information from agencies or courts that require additional
information about parental competencies learned during parent classes.

Also related, I'd be grateful to hear about agencies that have a
systematic approach to assessment that helps them to decide which
parents should
receive which form of parent training (if at all).

Lastly, if any agencies have figures about how many dollars (US) they
pay per parent, to parent training providers who are instructing parents

involved with child welfare services, this too would be very helpful.
Thanks for considering this request.
