program description

The Resilient Parent Program (RPP) hosts family engagement activities and services. We focus on building resilience, self-advocacy, and prioritizing wellness among vulnerable families with children ages birth to five. The Resilient Parent Program uses a two-generation approach.

We aim to strengthen the relationship with families and service providers that offer resources to address family needs.

The coalition creates a shared learning experience for service providers and parents to develop family engagement strategic plans and grant access to implementation coaching to move those plans to action.
