Story Behind the Curve
FY23 HFY1: We are still building community partnerships in the Wicomico County area and did not start offering classes until the funding/grant contract was completed. We hope that next quarter we will be on track to meet our goal of serving 75 families. We have partnered with DSS in home services and with the help of the LMB, opened the referrals to other sections of DSS such as child welfare. Also with the help of the LMB, these classes are now being offered at the Wicomico County Detention Center.
This program was not funded in Half Year 1 of FY19.
Using the Active Parenting curriculum, parenting education classes will be provided to parents and caregivers in Wicomico County to help improve parenting and communication styles, strengthen family relationships, and improve outcomes for youth in Wicomico County.
