Child maltreatment and subsequent family involvement with Child Welfare Services
exacts a high toll on children, families, communities, societies, and even on future
generations. Maltreated children are at higher risk for developing insecure attachment
styles as well as a plethora of maladaptive behaviors. Costs upon all are high; therefore,
effective service programs are needed to enhance parental knowledge, attitudes, and
skills and to improve parent-child attachments. This qualitative program evaluation
examines the effectiveness of a home visitation program to improve parenting practices
among at-risk families who have open Child Welfare cases. Using a mind-mapping
technique (Buzan. 2008), preliminary results indicate that instructing parents in the
floortime model can elicit more nurturing parenting practices. |
