(Request for Proposal for the Parent Aide Services Program continued)
BACKGROUND:
The RFP will provide funding for agency operation of a parent aide service program(s) in the Central, East and
West regions of Contra Costa County.
Parent aides are professionally trained individuals who provide crucial support to the Employment and Human
Services Department (EHSD), Children and Family Services Bureau social workers for the areas of
transportation and supervised parent visitation. The main goal of the parent aide services program is to provide
supervision to parents during visits with their children placed out of the family home, insuring the safety of the
child as well as the parent. Supervised visitation is court-ordered.
Parent aides assist parents in building self-confidence, self esteem and coping skills by demonstrating and
modeling appropriate parent/child intervention.
