Abstract | This paper describes a model parent support program which would identify and coordinate existing community resources in an effort to help meet the varied needs of parents (particularly expectant adolescents, new parents and single parents) during pregnancy and the first few months of their children's lives. The components of this program would include training for basic childrearing and family life such as child development, nutrition, health care, child management, home environment planning, family role, and realization of the individual's potential as a parent. In addition, delivery systems for professional advice and care related to health, nutrition, or financial needs and other social services, would be mobilized. Other resources such as a toy lending library, collections of reading materials for parents, baby-sitting services, quality day and/or home care would be located or developed. Strategies for implementation of this model would include making a survey of available community resources, preparing a statement of program objectives, and developing a delivery system, using resources already available in the community. The program plan would be presented to potential members of a multidisciplinary team of professionals and volunteers. Interested team members would then be involved in planning, implementing, and continuously evaluating a locally-appropriate program. (JMB) |
