BACKGROUND:
Since 2019, Clark County Family Services (CCFS) has received 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.
Beginning in 2025, the responsibility for administering the parent education programs funded by this grant has formally transitioned from CCFS to the newly established Clinical and Community Services Department (CCS). This shift aligns with the County’s efforts to consolidate and streamline service delivery under CCS, which now oversees a broader range of clinical and prevention-focused community services. The transition ensures continued access to high-quality, evidence-based programming while supporting CCS’s expanded role in promoting family stability and well-being throughout Clark County.
This item is 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 recommends the Board accept the additional funds awarded.
