As a Parent Partner, you will help the company achieve its goal of providing quality service by building supportive relationships with parents and caregivers.

Provide advocacy and liaison services between the clinician, treatment staff, community agencies, services, families, and children to ensure that families are properly supported through the process of having children involved with the system of care, probation, or mental health systems, and utilizing any of the company's services. Participate as a full and active member of the family team, assisting the family in bringing up and discussing difficult issues at team meetings. Facilitate linking families with appropriate community services; follow-up, consult, and collaborate with community agencies to ensure they receive appropriate services.

Lead or co-lead individual and parent counseling groups providing education, consultation, or other needed services for current and discharged families. Attend and participate in trainings, treatment planning meetings, court review hearings, team decision-making, IEP, and other meetings to provide support and information to the teams and families. Maintain contact with families to best meet their needs, including visiting families' homes and initiating contact as soon as an individual is placed; provide support and information to allay families' concerns while offering encouraging feedback to those reconnecting to their community. Maintain comprehensive documentation as it pertains to record-keeping and state-specific requirements.
