  • Title: Closer to home: parent mentors in child welfare.
    Author: Cohen E, Canan L.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 2006; 85(5):867-84. PubMed ID: 17168459.
    Abstract:
    This article addresses the emerging use of parent mentors--parents who have successfully negotiated the child welfare system and provide support and advocacy to others. The theoretical justification, roles, and expected outcomes and benefits of parent mentors are explored. The organizational factors thought to be required for such programs are also described, drawing on the available literature and the practice experience of a recently implemented Parent Partners program in a county child welfare agency.
