Family Alliance for Change Parent Support Partner Handbook

The purpose of the Family Alliance for Change (FAFC) Parent Support Partner (PSP) Handbook is to supplement the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Parent Support Partner Curriculum. It provides new PSPs with guidance on delivering services and completing documentation. The FAFC PSP Handbook offers practical tips for your work in the field as a PSP and as part of the treatment team. Additionally, it discusses how to use supervision with your supervisor. This Handbook is not intended to replace the employee policies and procedures at the agency where you work. The forms and other documentation listed in Table one (1) are discussed throughout the Handbook at each stage of your work from initial certification through completion of your work with a family. Also included are methods for PSPs to engage in self-assessment and quality assurance activities.
