Summary: SafeCare (evidenced based practice) provides parenting intensive case management, financial assistance, basic needs, and parenting support through monitored visits.
The parenting curriculum used is called SafeCare and covers three areas: Parent child interaction/parent infant interaction, health, and safety. PCI/PII go over setting up a structured schedule, keeping a routine, as well as maintaining that secure bond a parent has with their child. Health training involves education on interactions with children when they are ill and how to help prevent sickness, and the necessity of keeping accurate health records. The Safety portion involves the staff going over common hazards that are in the home and how to remove or reduce them. The course is around 18 weeks, but staff can work with a family for 6-10 months longer if needed.
