Organizations Filed Purposes: OUR MISSION IS TO PREVENT THE NEGLECT AND ABUSE OF OKLAHOMA'S CHILDREN BY PROVIDING

OUR MISSION IS TO PREVENT THE NEGLECT AND ABUSE OF OKLAHOMA'S CHILDREN BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE-BASED AND HOME-BASED PARENT EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. PARENT PROMISE PRIMARILY SERVES AT-RISK, LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN OKLAHOMA COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING METROPOLITAN AREA. SERVICES ARE VOLUNTARY AND AT NO COST TO THE FAMILY. AS THE OKLAHOMA CHAPTER OF PREVENT CHILD ABUSE AMERICA, PARENT PROMISE ALSO ADVOCATES STATEWIDE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILY-FRIENDLY POLICIES.

HOME-BASED PARENT EDUCATION AND SUPPORT: THIS VOLUNTARY EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM IS OFFERED TO PARENTS AT NO COST AND IS TAILORED FOR FAMILIES IN HIGH-RISK ENVIRONMENTS. MANY OF THE PARENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACES) OR ARE PROVIDING HOME ENVIRONMENTS FOR THEIR CHILDREN WHERE ACES EXIST. PARENT EDUCATORS EITHER HAVE DEGREES IN A SOCIAL SERVICE FIELD OR AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD. THEY GO INTO THE HOMES AT THE PARENT'S CONVENIENCE AND HELP THE PARENT UNDERSTAND HOW TO PROVIDE A SAFE, LOVING AND NURTURING HOME ENVIRONMENT FOR THEIR CHILD(REN). AT EACH VISIT THE PARENT EDUCATOR PROVIDES PARENTING INFORMATION ON THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES, DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS, DEPRESSION SCREENINGS AND DEVELOPMENTAL/EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. TWO PROGRAM MODELS SERVE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN 0-5 AND A THIRD PROGRAM MODEL WAS RECENTLY ADDED TO SERVE FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN 0-12. THIS PROGRAM FILLS A GAP IN THE COMMUNITY FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN 6-12. INCREASED PRIVATE FUNDING HAS HELPED PARENT PROMISE EXPAND STAFF AND PROGRAMMING TO SERVE ROUGHLY 200 FAMILIES A YEAR. FAMILIES ARE REFERRED TO PARENT PROMISE BY A VAST CONGLOMERATE OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS OR SELF-REFERRED.
