Minnesota's Parent Support Outreach Program is a voluntary support program that focuses on a family's strengths and needs and aims to help children and parents thrive. Referrals for the program come from screened-out child maltreatment reports, self-referrals by parent or guardian, and community agencies.
The overarching goals of the Parent Support Outreach Program are to:
• enhance the well-being of children and families,
• ensure and maintain safety for children, and
• support families so they can meet the needs of their children by themselves and through support systems.
