Organizations Filed Purposes: Parent-Child Center is a not-for-profit community mental health center partnering with communities to change the odds for our children and families facing social, emotional and financial adversity.

Parent Child Center is a member of Community Partners with Housing (Continued on Schedule O)

The Parent-Child Center, Inc. (PCC), a member of Community Partners of South Florida, is a not-for-profit organization providing the highest quality behavioral health therapy and counseling services to children and families in Palm Beach County, changing life outcomes for the youth in high-risk communities where there are concentrated pockets of poverty. Since our beginning in 1979, PCC has grown to be widely recognized as the county's leading agency of caring experts helping our most vulnerable children - victims of trauma, abuse and neglect, among other childhood developmental social, emotional and psychiatric disorders. As proof of its dedication to expert services, the Parent-Child Center was accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) in 2006 and received its most recent national re-accreditation from COA in 2019. At Parent-Child Center, we believe in changing the odds for children and families facing adversity. We specialize in treatment for trauma, depression, attention-deficit, anxiety and other disorders that can impact the development of children and teens. The clients served at the Parent-Child Center face numerous obstacles related to multiple risk factors such as poverty, substance abuse, physical abuse, and mental illness. In 2019, there were over 3,000 children and families in Palm Beach County who benefited from our services. Our objectives are met through six distinct programs providing essential mental health services for children and families that are individualized, strengths-based, and trauma informed. In 2019, Parent-Child Center continued implementation of our innovative training program. This training program ensures that all service providers are equipped to partner with families on their goals. Current programs include: Intake and Assessment Services There were approximately 3,000 referrals received during the 2018-19 year with an average of 250 per month. Intake was able to successfully complete assessments on 65% of those referrals per month, while referring the remainder to more appropriate agencies.Outpatient Child and Family Mental Health ServicesThe Outpatient Therapy Services department provided mental health services to over 1,200 children and 500 adults this year. Of the children served, we provided individual and family therapy through our Two Generational approach, with over 55% of our child clients receiving family therapy. Our department also celebrated three therapists obtaining licensure status. We continued to hire and provide training for over 20 therapists and aim to hire more in hopes to serve more children and families in the upcoming year. School-based programing (targeted case management and therapy) has increased access to mental health treatment to students and their families. Families who held back from treatment due to multiple barriers, time, money, access, stigma, are now given the opportunity to engage in services in a convenient, safe, and cost-effective place. The school receives support from the assigned mental health professional during incidents like crisis, staffing, and classroom behavior concerns. The Palm Beach County School District has entrusted CP with 2 additional schools in the Belle Glade area to continue the same model from the original 3 schools. These families have been able to bypass the waitlists in the community for providers and speak to a provider within days of referral.Positive Parenting Program (Triple P - A parent skill training program)There were over 1,100 individual parents/primary caregivers who participated in one or more levels of Triple P in 2019. Approximately 80% were female caregivers & 20% were male caregivers with approximately 78% being English speaking, 18% Spanish speaking and 4% Creole speaking. Of the 1,100 plus families who participated in Triple P, approximately 900 of the families engaged in Standard Triple P serving families with children aged Birth to 11 years old and approximately 200 of the families engaged in Teen Triple P serving families with children aged 11 to 17 years old. Parents were significantly more likely to report improved parental competence and to report lower levels of depression, anxiety and stress, with most gains in stress reduction. Parents were more likely to report that behavioral issues were less frequent and less of a problem and pro-social behavior was more frequent in their children. Overall, there was a reported 98% high level of satisfaction with the program in all areas assessed; the higher the level of Triple P, the more satisfaction reported. There were 265 90-minute seminars offered in 2018-19 in a combination of English, Spanish, and Creole. These seminars were delivered throughout the community. The entire Triple P and Teen Triple P staff attended a master's Level Triple P training in 2019 given by Professor Matt Sanders the founder of Triple P.Targeted Case Management (Identification of primary basic needs and linkage to community resources for families receiving services from PCC) Targeted Case Management department had an 85% successful discharge rate for all clients. 95% of clients gained health insurance during services, 84% of clients were successful in having a primary care physician at discharge. Trauma Care (Provision of trauma-trained therapist for children who have been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect.)The licensed therapists were provided on-call services totaling over 2,100 hours, which included crisis support to more than 200 children entering Palm Beach County's licensed foster and group home care during the 2018-19 year. Approximately 95% of the children removed were seen within 48 hours, which was vital in helping mitigate the effect of the trauma from the removal episode.From the extensive offering above, our programs provide tremendous impact across the entire geographic area of Palm Beach County, including the far-western communities of Belle Glade and Pahokee. Our therapists are community-based, meaning they see clients and their families in their homes, schools, and community centers. Our hub for services resides at our offices in Riviera Beach, serving the most concentrated population of vulnerable families.
