Welcome... to the first Philadelphia Parenting Resource Directory! The Department of Human Services is excited to offer you information on how to find parenting education resources in your own neighborhood.while this listing is not reflective of all the parenting programs that are offered in Philadelphia, we think of this guide as a start and will be issuing new editions as we discover new programs that are helping Philadelphia parents do the best possible job for their children. Parents and caregivers from all walks of life can benefit from the kind of information, advice and support that the programs listed in this guide offer. This is especially true given the growing complexity of child-rearing in the 21st century. In this day and age, our children face too many challenges and risks. All of us can use some help in understanding our parenting roles better. The Department of Human Services has traditionally been seen as the last resort for families in trouble.we are proud of our work in helping children and families where abuse, neglect and delinquency have occurred. But we are just as proud of our growing efforts to positively impact on communities by supporting activities and programs that encourage good parenting and help Philadelphia families provide a healthy, supportive environment for their children to grow and thrive. 3 This guide is incomplete, and we need your help in making it more accurate and comprehensive. On page 39 there is a form which you can use to alert us to parenting education and support programs not currently listed in the guide, or to update or correct information that s listed here.we hope that this guide will become the major source of up-to-date, accurate information about where parenting education programs are located. You can also be added to our mailing list for future editions of this Directory by filling out the form on page 40 and returning it to us. Another way to get information on parenting education is through DHS own Parent Action Network, which can be reached by calling 215.PARENTS.We also plan to make this guide available on the Internet in the coming months. Parenting education programs are also available through the DHS network of Community Family Centers, which is listed on pages 27 to 30 of this guide. We hope that you find this guide a useful tool in finding parenting resources. Sincerely, Alba E. Martinez, Esquire Commissioner
How to Use this Directory In this Directory, we have tried to make it as easy as possible for you to find the nearest parenting education resource to where you live or work. The major portion of programs included in the Directory is listed alphabetically, beginning on page 7. You can find particular programs in a specific Zip code by checking the Easy Locator on page 6. In this listing, look for your Zip code and go to the pages listed to find programs closest to you. We have also included other resources that might be helpful to you.these comprise a listing of Community Family Centers (page 27), each of which offers parenting education programs as well as after-school, youth development programs, and other social services.we have also listed contact information for child care programs (page 31), information on Head Start programs (page 33), and support groups sponsored by the DHS Parent Action Network (page 24). For this edition, we have not captured all information on all programs, so there are gaps in some of these listings that we could not fill prior to publication. In our next edition, we hope to have more complete and accurate information. If you can help us to identify programs we have missed or to correct information that is listed here, please fill out the form on page 39. Acknowledgements This first edition of DHS Helping Hands:A Parenting Resource Directory is the result of a major collaboration among a number of people and organizations throughout Philadelphia who care about families.we owe an important debt to everyone who took the time to complete the survey of parenting education programs and to all who helped in pulling this information together so that we could come up with an easy-to-understand guide. 5 In particular, we thank Shelly Yanoff, Bonnie Raines and Steven Fynes of Philadelphia Citizens for Children and Youth for their assistance in helping to bring the concept of the guide to reality. Naomi Post, Marsha Zibalese-Crawford, PhD, and Helen Hannigan of Philadelphia Safe and Sound came to the rescue on too many occasions to mention. Harriet Dichter and Linda Rich of the Philadelphia Division of Social Services provided leadership and hard work from the beginning of what turned out to be a much more complex and lengthy process than any of us envisioned. DHS would also like to thank the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Dr. Paul Fink for their support of this project. Finally, we also want to acknowledge the hard work of DHS staff in finally getting this publication in a form which can be useful to the community. In particular, we want to thank Liza Rodríguez and consultant Marixa Rios of the Communications Department, and David Fair, Marcia Philpot,Tracy Davis, Theresa Hutson and Terkessa Bradsher of the Division of Community-Based Prevention Services. NOTE:The information in this Directory was collected through a survey mailed to over 3,000 organizations and individuals in the Delaware Valley. Not all listings are complete, and, while we have made every effort to check the accuracy of this information, there may be changes which have occurred prior to publication. A listing in this Directory does not constitute endorsement or sponsorship of any of these programs, nor is it a statement about the quality or performance of the services described herein.
