ATTESTED October 22, 1996 Contact: PHIL BATCHFaLOR,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF CC: S RV S AND COUNTY ADMI BATOR See Page 2 BY EPUT F&HS-02 BACKGROUND: On July 8, 1996, our Committee met with staff from the County Administrator's Office to update ourselves on the work of the Policy Forum and its Executive Committee. At that time, we asked that we receive another report in about three months. On October 14, 1996, the County Administrator and Sara Hoffman from the County Administrator's Office provided our Committee with the attached report and reviewed it with us in some detail. We are very pleased with the progress being made by the Executive Committee in outlining five priority areas and in selecting parenting as the priority area on which initial attention should be focussed. We agree with that selection. We are asking that the Executive Committee consider recommending that the Board of Supervisors add a seat to the Executive Committee for a representative of the Police Chief's Association. We are making this recommendation because we believe that the city police departments have a different role and involvement than does the Sheriff in dealing with youth and families and often have specialized staff available for this purpose. We are pleased with the concept of a marketing strategy for parenting and its importance. We are recommending that the Executive Committee consider adding to this strategy a series of actions which might be undertaken on a monthly basis to keep the importance of parenting at the forefront of the public's consciousness throughout the year. Finally, Kate Ertz-Berger indicated that the Child Care Council has available a series of videos which have been shown to parents and could be made available to show on CCTV. We are asking that CCTV staff contact Ms. Ertz-Berger to obtain these videos. cc: County Administrator Members of the Policy Forum's Executive Committee (Via Sara Hoffman) Pat Burke, Executive Director, CCTV Kate Ertz-Berger, Executive Director Contra Costa Child Care Council 1035 Detroit Avenue, Suite 200 Concord, CA 94520 -2- CONTRA COSTA COUNTY OFFICE OF THE COUNTYADMINISTRA TOR 651 Pine Street, 10" Floor Martinez, California 94553 Telephone: 335-1086 October 9, 1996 TO: Family and Human Services Committee Supervisor Mark DeSaulnier Supervisor Jeff Smith FROM: Sara Hoffman 51�1 Senior Deputy Administrator SUBJECT: Status Report on Policy Forum As we reported to you in July, the Executive Committee of the Family and Human Services Policy Forum identified five priority areas for children and families: Parent support, alcohol and drug use reduction, positive outlets for children, improved communication with the public, and prevention of welfare fraud. Since then the Committee met in August and September and has moved forward on a number of issues, most notably on a campaign to elevate the profile of parenting to a higher level. The Executive Committee decided in its August meeting to first focus on parenting, a core element in family stability that also impacts the four other priority areas. For the September meeting, the Executive Committee inventoried current parent support services offered by the County, the educational system, and other local agencies. The inventory (Attachment A) included in-home support services, parenting classes, video/information/referral services, counseling and therapy, and miscellaneous services. Each of the agencies then contributed to a needs assessment (Attachment B), which identified six unmet parenting needs: 1) Currently available parent support services need to be better advertised and marketed, and parents should be encouraged to seek support before a crisis has developed. 2) Community and peer support for parenting projects needs to be expanded. 3) Parenting services need to be more accessible, and information and resource centers more conveniently located and centralized. 4) Linkages with other programs (e.g., drug and alcohol) need to be developed in order to promote holistic approaches to family health. 5) Parenting classes need to be expanded to provide support both for parents in crisis and for parents or prospective parents with no critical or urgent problems in order to prevent crisis from occurring. 6) Parental involvement in school curriculum development needs to be increased and intensified. After considerable discussion of the inventory and unmet needs, the Executive Committee decided to focus on programmatic and marketing strategies to enhance support systems for parents and increase public awareness of parenting issues. A variety of activities are in progress that members will discuss at the next meeting on Friday, October 18th, including: • An overall strategy for the Forum's parenting campaign, delineating possible working relationships between community and county. • A marketing strategy to highlight the importance of parenting and to publicize current parent support programs. • Evaluation and possible expansion of parent education classes. • Increased use of videos, television, and radio to provide parent support. • Information gathering on parenting programs conducted by the State and by other counties in the nation. Beyond reporting on the status of these activities, there are two key issues that the Executive Committee will be discussing at its next meeting. First, participation by the community and local experts becomes more critical as the parenting campaign gathers momentum, and the Committee plans on moving ahead expeditiously to identify potential committee members and to activate the larger committee. Second, in response to recommendations by the Family and Human Services Committee, the Executive Committee will investigate and discuss outcomes measurements by which progress can be evaluated. cc: Executive Committee Paul Allen, Superintendent, Mt.
