Parent Leaders, in Their Own Words
Dec 14 2009Increasingly, child- and family-serving organizations and agencies are recognizing that an integral part of their work must be the development and meaningful inclusion of parent leaders who will bring their perspective to the work of providing services and creating policies. A new collection of recordings from the FRIENDS National Resource Center for Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention and its Parent Advisory Council features six parent leaders telling their stories of how they developed into leaders, and what that role has meant to them. These stories highlight how parent leadership not only benefits the involved parents themselves, but help child- and family-serving organizations better achieve their missions.
The FRIENDS Parent Advisory Council has made these recordings available to the public for increasing awareness about the importance of parent leadership. The recordings may also be used as tools for training and education.
