Urbain E. 1991 (ca.). Parent Outreach Project [Final report]. St. Paul, MN: Wilder Foundation, 38 pp.

Annotation: This project sought to develop and demonstrate a replicable, collaborative, interagency prevention intervention model using existing professional casework services, community education, and community-based social support for a population at risk for potential child maltreatment. Important components of the project included home visits by nurses and volunteers. Public health nurses conducted assessments in the home and monitored the developmental progress of the child, while a volunteer "parent befriender" offered support and helped build the parent's self-esteem and strengthened parent-child relationships. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
