BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners authorized Clark County Family Services (CCFS) to receive a grant award from PACT to assist CCFS with its efforts in providing parents with children age's birth to 18, and youth, a series of free, multi-session, parent education programs that improve family functioning. The initial award was for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021, with the opportunity for additional funding in years 2 - 4.
In 2025 these services were transferred to the newly operational Clark County Clinical and Community Services department (CCS).
Ratification of this item will allow CCS to receive the additional funds awarded for continuation of services currently being provided to approximately 1,800 clients at various community locations in Clark County. The evidenced based parent education programs include, but are not limited to, Nurturing Parent and Families, ABC's of Parenting, Staying Connected to Your Teen, and Triple P Positive Parenting Programs. In addition, monies received from the grant will fund program facilitators and program materials which will effectively enhance the delivery of parent education programs to CCS' clients and the community.
Staff recommend the Board accept additional funds awarded.
