Poyadue F. 1994 (ca.). National Center on Parent-Directed Family Resource Centers [Final report]. Santa Clara, CA: Parents Helping Parents, Inc., 34 pp.

Annotation: The goal of this project was to create a system for Parent-Directed Family Resource Centers (PDFRCs) and assist others to develop and institutionalize this system. PDFRCs offered a comprehensive (one-stop shopping) array of family resources and support programs to a local area (cities, counties, and parishes). The project objectives included developing a series of "how to" manuals on initiating and institutionalizing PDFRCs and developing 15 self-teaching packets on replicating Parents Helping Parents, Inc., programs. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]

Annotation: This manual contains background information designed to serve as a springboard for discussion in the planning of a new resource center in the subject area of maternal and child health. The outline of ideas and attached materials grow out of the experience of the National Center for Education in Maternal and Child Health (NCEMCH) in designing and implementing its own reference collection. The manual includes an outline of activities the new resource center could undertake, suggestions on how NCEMCH could assist the new center, and sample materials from the NCEMCH Reference Collection.
