Exhibit A
Proposal No. 18-045 Page 3
OVERVIEW
The County of Fresno on behalf of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) is requesting proposals
from qualified vendors to provide evidence-based services within the guidelines of a parenting program.
Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) offer proven ways to improve outcomes for the target populations. The
greater the use of evidence-based practices in probation supervision and services, the greater the
recidivism reduction.
The National Institute of Corrections describes evidence-based practice as follows: Evidence-based
practice is the objective, balanced and responsible use of current research and the best available data to
guide policy and practice decisions, such that outcomes for consumers are improved. Used originally in
the health care and social science fields, evidence-based practice focuses on approaches demonstrated
to be effective through empirical research rather than through anecdote or professional experience alone.
Funding for this program is from AB 109, which changed legislation and sentencing in the state of
California effective October 1, 2011. AB 109 releases certain offenders from state prisons to the
supervision of county probation departments; these are called Post Release Community Supervision
(PRCS) offenders. AB 109 also provides, pursuant to 1170 (h) of the California Penal Code, for sentencing
that mandates commitments to the county jail for offenders previously sent to the state prison system
under long term sentencing strategies.
The Fresno County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP)was formed to oversee development of
local programs and services to meet the needs of these offenders and to support public safety. The CCP
developed and approved the County's Public Safety Realignment Act, AB 109 Implementation Plan. This
document, including updates, has been approved by the CCP and the Fresno County Board of
Supervisors. It serves as a guideline for all projects funded by AB 109. All potential vendors should review
it before responding to this Request for Proposal.
On May 15, 2017, the CCP approved additional services including a parenting program specifically
designed to provide a collaborative range of services including; parenting skills, healthy relationship
activities, and resources for economic stability.
It is expected that the Agreement executed with the successful bidder will be for a period of three years,
with the potential of two one-year extensions.

Exhibit A
Proposal No. 18-045 Page 5
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS & CONDITIONS
TERM: It is County's intent to contract with the successful bidder for a term of three years with the option to
renew for up to two additional one year periods based on mutual written consent.
The County reserves the right to terminate any resulting contract upon written notice.
AWARD: The award will be made to the vendor offering the proposal that is deemed the most advantageous
to the County. Past performance (County contracts within the past seven years)and references may factor
into awarding of a contract. The County will be the sole judge in making such determination. The County
reserves the right to reject any and all proposals. Award Notices are tentative. Acceptance of an offer made
in response to this RFP shall occur only upon execution of an agreement by both parties or issuance of a
valid Purchase Order by Purchasing. After award, all bids shall be open to public inspection. The County
assumes no responsibility for the confidentiality of information offered in a bid.
Award may require approval by the County of Fresno— Board of Supervisors.
PARTICIPATION: The bidder may agree to extend the terms of the resulting contract to other political
subdivisions, municipalities, and tax-supported agencies. Such participating governmental bodies may make
purchases in their own name, make payment directly to the bidder, and be liable directly to the bidder, holding
the County of Fresno harmless.
CONFIDENTIALITY: Services performed by the bidder shall be in strict conformance with all applicable
Federal, State of California and/or local laws and regulations relating to confidentiality, including but not
limited to, California Civil Code, California Welfare and Institutions Code, Health and Safety Code, California
Code of Regulations, Code of Federal Regulations.
The bidder shall submit to County's monitoring of said compliance.
The bidder may be a Business associate of County, as that term is defined in the "Privacy Rule" enacted by
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). As a HIPAA Business Associate,
vendor may use or disclose protected health information ("PHI")to perform functions, activities or services for
or on behalf of County, as specified by the County, provided that such use or disclosure shall not violate
HIPAA and its implementing regulations. The uses and disclosures of PHI may not be more expansive than
those applicable to County, as the "Covered Entity" under HIPAA's Privacy Rule, except as authorized for
management, administrative or legal responsibilities of the Business Associate.
The bidder shall not use or further disclose PHI other than as permitted or required by the County, or as
required by law without written notice to the County. The bidder shall ensure that any agent, including any
subcontractor, to which vendor provides PHI received from, or created or received by the vendor on behalf of
County, shall comply with the same restrictions and conditions with respect to such information.
SUBCONTRACTORS: If a subcontractor is proposed, complete identification of the subcontractor and his
tasks should be provided. The primary contractor is not relieved of any responsibility by virtue of using a
subcontractor. A specialty contractor cannot contract for work outside of their classification even if they are
going to subcontract that work to another licensee who does hold the classification. The only classification
that may do that is the B—General Building contractor.
SELF-DEALING TRANSACTION DISCLOSURE: Contractor agrees that when operating as a corporation (a
for-profit or non-profit corporation), or if during the term of the agreement the Contractor changes its status to
operate as a corporation, members of the Contractor's Board of Directors shall disclose any self-dealing
transactions that they are a party to while Contractor is providing goods or performing services under the
agreement with the County. A self-dealing transaction shall mean a transaction to which the Contractor is a
party and in which one or more of its directors has a material financial interest. Members of the Board of
Directors shall disclose any self-dealing transactions that they are a party to by completing and signing a
Fresno County Self-Dealing Transaction Disclosure Form and submitting it to the County prior to
commencing with the self-dealing transaction or immediately thereafter.
LOCAL VENDOR PREFERENCE: The Local Vendor Preference does not apply to this Request for
Proposal.

principals, partners or major shareholders.

employees in any capacity by a bidder, or have any other direct or indirect financial interest in the
selection of a contractor.
6. In addition, no County employee will be employed by the selected vendor to fulfill the vendor's contractual
obligations to the County.

(federal, state, or local)transaction or contract under a public transaction;

employment, contract, or other compensation arrangement with any County consultant, vendor, or other
County provider of goods, materials, or services, where the officer or employee participated in any part of the
decision making process that led to the County relationship with the consultant, vendor or other County
provider of goods, materials or services.
Pursuant to Government Code section 25132(a), a violation of the ordinance may be enjoined by an
injunction in a civil lawsuit, or prosecuted as a criminal misdemeanor.

process, the evaluation team will break the tie by re-evaluating the proposals and coming to a consensus on
which proposal to award. Additional information or interviews may be requested from bidders with the tied
proposals.

the purpose of providing services must employ adequate controls and data security measures, both internally

County data including sensitive or personal client information; abuse of County resources; and/or disruption to
County operations.

participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it
cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in
connection with the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction.
However, failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall
disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when
the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the
prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other
remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction
for cause or default.
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to
which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its
certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed
circumstances.
5. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, participant, person, primary covered
transaction, principal, proposal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, have the meanings set
out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may
contact the department or agency to which this proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a
copy of those regulations.
6. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in
order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a
participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary
course of business dealings.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Evidence-based Parenting Program is a new service the Probation Department is offering.
The objective is to choose the proposal that offers the highest quality services and will best
achieve the County's goals and objectives within the budget stated in the RFP. The
Department's main requirement is that the program is evidence-based.
Addendum Questions
Q1, Is the agency able to screen participants prior to start-up date of classes
commencing for group appropriateness?
Screening examples: crisis issues, substance use, previous/current history of child
abuse cases, delusions/hallucinations, ability to relate to others
A1. The Probation Department has no objections to the agency doing their own pre-screen.
However, if a pre-screen process is expected to be used, it should be included in the
services providers'response so that the Probation Department can review it.
Q2. Are these in-jail services? If so, what jail location?
A2. No.
Q3. Is there an approximate number of slots (enrolled persons at any one time)that the
County anticipates will be needed?
A3. No. Bidders should propose the number of persons they are capable of serving.
Q4. What is the referral process?
A4. Referrals to the program would come from Deputy Probation Officers. One referral would
be sent electronically to the service provider and one will be provided to the client.
Q5. Is there an existing provider for these services and if so who is that?
A5. There is no current provider.
Q6. Since it appears that job readiness is a component it is likely the participants are
not yet working.
Are weekend services expected?
A6. Weekend services are not required, but keep in mind that all aspects of the program will
be reviewed to determine the quality of a proposal.
Q7. What is the expected length a participant would be enrolled in the program?

X. VENDOR COMPANY DATA
A. Narrative demonstrating basic familiarity& experience with problems associated with service/project.
Central Valley Children's Services Network(CSN)has a 37-year history of providing wrap around services to
culturally diverse families. The comprehensive approach of CSN allows families to gain easy access to services
internally and within other non-profits. The range of family services offered by CSN is a coordinated continuum of
prevention, intervention,referral and linkages out to treatment services. CSN has a stellar record of providing
services to underserved areas of Fresno County with a high degree of cultural competency. More specific to this
population, CSN has provided Parenting Education to families with multiple risk factors since 2001.
Problems associated with this service/project:
Engaging parents involved with the Corrections System; child welfare system and attending to their most basic
needs is often a precursor to taking up services aimed at behavioral change. However,this function is extremely
complicated by a host of factors. The inherent adversarial nature of Corrections involvement;prior negative
experiences with services;parental fear, shame, and stigma; and problems such as substance abuse,mental illness,
and domestic violence can impede the development of the client-worker relationship. Case workers,juggling the
demands of high caseloads with attendant court work,record keeping, and work with children,have little time to
build trusting relationships with parents.
Impoverished families find involvement with the Corrections System intimidating, difficult to understand,and
leading to a state of powerlessness. This is not surprising as the Corrections System is complex and the families'
perception of the system is that it exists to punish parents and remove children. Their entrance into the Parenting
Skills programs is fraught with the conflicting feelings of anger,the desire to show they already are able to parent
sufficiently well, and distrust of the sessions.
hi order to address these needs, CSN Parent Education Facilitators will build relationships over time and especially
encourage peer to peer sharing. Since they are all in the same situation,hearing others with similar issues or where
a solution has proven effective,helps build trust for the entire experience. In addition,Parent Education Facilitators
who truly understand their experience and culture will be used. The structure of the sessions also will be designed
to deliberately withhold any formal assessment of their current parenting skills until the third session,rather than
the first. This design is to allow more trust in the program to be developed so that more honest assessment self-
reporting will occur,which results in more accurate end of program progress assessment.
A Descriptions of any similar or related contracts under which the bidder has provided services.

X1. SCOPE OF WORK -
A/B1. General Understanding, Scope of Work Proposed and Summary of Features
Children's Services Network(CSN)proposes to provide Parenting Education classes for clients involved in the
Corrections System. More specifically, services will be provided to probationers of any age that are parents or
expecting to become parents. CSN's parenting education program will strengthen family resilience;nurture the
development of healthy behaviors, enhance the safety of children from child abuse and neglect,and promote
permanency and well-being. Services include;parenting skills,healthy relationship activities,and resources for
economic stability.
Having provided parenting education to this population in the past, CSN is familiar with the challenges of these
families. They struggle with complex and chronic challenges that include poverty, lack of family support systems,
growing up themselves in dysfunctional families and subsequently replicate the pattern of ineffective parenting
skills,mental illness, and substance abuse. Combine that with the trauma experienced by the child and how that
manifests in the parent-child relationship, it can become difficult to function as parents. There is the additional
stress for parents working with different providers to address their treatment, family, and court-mandated visitation
needs in an often uncoordinated fashion.
Scope of Work Proposal and Summary of Features
Children's Services Network proposes to address the Parenting Education portion of the Request for Proposal. Its
past experience, current organizational mission,and priorities best fit this area.
CSN will provide 60 parents,who have children 0-17 and are identified by County of Fresno Corrections System,
with the Family Connections program with 14 parenting education sessions for two and a half hours each. The
curriculum's foundation is the evidence-based,trauma informed Nurturing Parenting Program, and integrates the
best of the evidence-based Make Parenting a Pleasure,Back to Basics and the Protective Factors Framework. The
program will be offered in five cohorts in English and Spanish in both day and evening in three different locations:
Malaga, West Fresno, and downtown Fresno.
Using the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory(AAPI-2),parents will be assessed in the third session of the 14
weeks in order to establish enough trust for an accurate reading of the baseline level of parenting skills of each
participant. Past experience with this population shows that parents over-report their proficiency during the first
session as no trust has been established and they likely wish to put themselves into as positive a light as possible.
Parent Education Facilitators will provide weekly notes on each parent's level of engagement and highlights and/or
concerns. The last session will include a second Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory to determine areas of
progression. A Parent Satisfaction survey will provide their overall impressions of the training,their personal
assessment of the most important things they learned, and will identify at least one new behavior change that has
occurred.
Primary outcomes to be achieved:
• 80%receive a certificate of completion
Of those completing the program:
• 80%improve in at least two constructs identified in the initial assessment
• 70%improve in at least two of three areas of discipline(Expectations of Children,Use of Corporal
Punishment(Discipline), and Parents Empathy towards Children's Needs(Roles)
• 50%improve in at least four of the five constructs of the AAPI assessments
• 100%maintain initial levels identified in the remaining constructs and do not regress
• 75%of parents indicate they learned at least three new things as identified in the final satisfaction survey
and the average score of all participants is having learned at least 3 new things
• 85%of parents identified in the satisfaction survey a new behavior they are now using with their child(ren)

Target Population
The target population for this program is probationers of any age that are parents or expecting to become parents.
Post release community supervision offenders will be provided with multiple intervention strategies and services
for parenting skills and relationship-building that addresses the complexities and diversity of this population. The
focus of this model recognizes the cognitive, affective and behavioral systems of the client. The goals of these
evidence-based practices are to meet the needs of the clients(offenders), support public safety and to reduce
recidivism.
a) Program design,curriculum and supportive services
Program Description
The Family Connections program will provide five(5)cohorts with 14 sessions of an amalgamated curriculum
based on Nurturing Parenting Program(primary),Make Parenting a Pleasure, and the more teen oriented Back to
Basics. The foundation for this curriculum is the Strengthening Families Protective Factors approach. This allows
parents with children ages 0-17 to participate. CSN already uses a combined curriculum of Nurturing Parenting
Program and Making Parenting serving parents with children ages 0-12 with much success in the DSS Parenting
Program; as well as,the Home Visitation program and in past group classroom settings. Adding appropriate
components of Back to Basics to address the issues of the teen years are an important addition. CSN has experience
in appropriately combining curriculum so that it is seamless.
Curriculum
The Nurturing Parenting Program (NPP) is strength-based and designed to help families replace negative patterns
with new,positive,nurturing patterns. It is a trauma informed and evidence-based program that has been adapted to
various racial and ethnic populations.NPP is targeted specifically for high risk families who are at risk or already
receiving social services in order to build nurturing parenting skills as an alternative to abusive and neglecting
child-rearing practices. CSN will utilize the Secondary Prevention-Intervention curriculum,which is designed for
at-risk youth,teen parents, and families experiencing moderate levels of dysfunction.NPP utilizes the Adult-
Adolescent Parenting Inventory(AAPI-2) assessment tool,which is available in both English and Spanish,and has
five major constructs measured: Expectations of Children,Parental Empathy towards Children's Needs,Use of
Proposal No. 18-045 22
Exhibit B
Corporal Punishment(Discipline), Parent-Child Family Needs(Roles), and Children's Power and Independence.
CSN will utilize this tool as one means of measuring progress.
Make Parenting a Pleasure(MPAP) is an evidence-based program of"Parenting Now!"that focuses on highly
stressed families with children ages 0-8. This program incorporates attention on parent self-knowledge about
handling stress and anger earlier in the curriculum than Nurturing Parenting. Before parents can effectively deal
with discipline issues,understanding their own past history and current stress levels are important for behavior
change in child discipline practices. CSN has found components of this program an important addition to the NPP
model.A just-published research study shows MPP"effective in improving outcomes for stressed families,
assisting highly stressed families in improving Protective Factors that are associated with reducing the risk of child
abuse and neglect, such as parental resilience, social connections,knowledge of parenting and child development
and the social and emotional competence of children. This study was a randomized clinical trial,with a wait-list
control condition involving a sample of 59 matched participants with children aged birth to 8 years of age."
Back to Basics(BTB) enables parents to learn solutions to any behavior problem a child from age 2 to 20 may
present. Scripts on topics like"How to Make a Rule"are provided in English and Spanish. The Manual and
training provide Parent Education Facilitators with practical tools and help with how to clearly identify problems of
those in the class and then suggest interventions to make change. Back to Basics helps parents take charge of their
own life,identify the root of the problem, and how to find a healthier alternative to their destructive behavior. This
can be especially important when facing teen-age parenting issues and the need for consistency.
Support Services
Enriched child care will be provided for parents who are attending their class. Children will be screened utilizing
the Ages & Stages Questionnaire and Ages & Stages Questionnaire: Social Emotional(ASQ&ASQ:SE)
developmental screening tools. These tools will help identify any possible delays in children ages three months
through six years of age. Findings will be shared with parents and referrals will be offered based on parent's
acceptance.
Parents will be provided with employment related assistance; whether it's a referral to other community agencies or
in-house assistance. Services may include appropriate clothing for job interviews,resume building skills and/or
interviewing skills.
In addition to parenting education services,Family Connections will provide assessments for parents,not only to
assess their parenting skills but also to provide them with resource and referrals for basic needs. CSN's Program
staff will provide linkages to community based entities,helping families feel safe in accessing services (e.g.,
transportation,housing, food,medication,mental health services,therapy, employment services, etc.).
CSN's program staff is very familiar with the resources in the community. Program staff will utilize formal and
informal support networks, such as church,neighbors, or friends when permitted by the client. Considering issues
of personal discomfort,lifestyle,insecurity, sense of powerlessness, self-esteem,trust, and fear of the Corrections
population,program staff will only refer out to organizations that are trusted by this population.
Goals and Objectives
Long Term Goal 1: Reduce the likelihood of child maltreatment
Problem: Child maltreatment is on the rise in Fresno County
Short Term Goals: Strengthen family resilience,nurture the development of healthy behaviors,enhance the
safety of children from child abuse and neglect,protect children from further abuse and promote permanency
and well-being.
Objective 1: 60 parents in 5 cohorts throughout 3 locations will participate in 14 class sessions of Fresno
Family Connections parent education;up to 100 can be accommodated.
Objective 2: 60 parents will be screened utilizing the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory-2 (AAPI)tool to
determine a baseline on parenting skills and attitudes.
Proposal No. 18-045 23
Exhibit B
Objective 3: Parents completing the program are able to identify important knowledge gained and at least one
new positive behavior change begun by the last session.
Objective 4: Parents needing additional referrals for services as identified in assessments or during class
sessions will be provided, either internally,through community partners, or in conjunction with DSS.
Intervention: Three part-time Parent Education Facilitators will facilitate the Family Connections Parent
Education program over 14 sessions for families with children ages 0-17 in both English and Spanish. The
curriculum is a compilation of Nurturing Parenting Program(NPP)as the basis,Make Parenting a Pleasure and
Back to Basics. Parents will be screened initially during the third session week to allow more time for trust to
develop so as to gain truer self-reporting of a baseline level and then again on the last(14th) session to assess
progress. Any parents identifying needs for referrals will be referred by the Parent Education Facilitator and CSN
program staff to either internal or external resources already partnering with CSN,or by consulting DSS and
working in tandem with their social workers on appropriate referrals.
Evaluation Tools: Attendance will be monitored utilizing Attendance sign-in sheets. Level of parent engagement
will be monitored through the completion of the Parent Education Facilitator Weekly Parent Engagement tool and
results reported monthly as shown in the Report section. Pre and Post AAPI screenings will be utilized to
demonstrate improvement(see more detail in the Outcomes section). A Parent Satisfaction survey on the last day
of each session will provide a parent perception of knowledge gained and at least one behavior change already
occurring, as well as utilized for continuous program improvement. The enclosed draft in the Reports section will
likely be revised to some extent once the final curriculum is developed.
b) Knowledge and develop skills that provide insight into parenting styles and build understanding of child
development as well as the impact of family conflict on the family unit.
Plan to Address Unique Characteristics and Specific Needs of the Target Populations
Since all of the parents are involved with the Corrections System,there are several characteristics and needs of the
populations described above. The families served share many of the same characteristics such as:
Substantiated neglect/abuse of children;Difficulty in caring for special needs children; Domestic violence;
Unemployment; Substance abuse; Inconsistency of the family environment; Deficits in life skills competencies that
impact the ability to manage the family; Cultural and/or language barriers that impact the provision of needed
medical, social and psychological services; There may be low literacy levels; Parents may have learned how to
parent from their own dysfunctional parents,repeating the pattern;Parents may feel overwhelmed or angry at
having to prove they are a good parent; Parents may blame others rather than take responsibility for their own
actions;Parents may work and be tired in the evening sessions, or unavailable during day-time sessions;Parents
may not have child care available for younger children while they attend sessions; Transportation needs may also
arise,where bus schedules are less prevalent, or when safety issues traveling at night are a concern; In the Latino
culture, cultural gender roles may affect attitudes toward parenting,particularly of immigrants or first generation
individuals. Males in the more traditional role are the decision-makers and providers,not nurturers,which is the
more traditional role of the female. The African American population has been disproportionately represented in
the Corrections System having the highest number of cases open while having the lowest population rates in Fresno
County.
To address these needs,the CSN Parent Education Facilitators capitalize on their experience from both education
and the field during the past five years of home visitations with a comparable population. A parenting education
session is not the place to solve issues requiring treatment or longer term support. However,understanding the
context in which they live, allows the Parent Education Facilitators to appropriately manage the curriculum based
on the needs of those in the room.
Relationship building with both the Parent Education Facilitators and parent peers is important to building trust.
Conducting an initial assessment on parenting practices before that trust has developed often leads to the post
assessment not showing much, if any, improvement. Since DSS requires that the assessment occur in the first 30
days,the assessment will occur during the third week of the 14 week course to allow more time for trust to develop
before its administration. This is intended to improve initial assessment accuracy,while still being early enough to
establish a baseline. The purpose is to better reflect actual progress made during the entire course at the post-
assessment point.
Proposal No. 18-045 24
Exhibit B
Relationship building and Parent Education Facilitator skill also helps with parents moving from blaming others to
taking responsibility for their own actions. Peers can help with this accountability as well. Parent Education
Facilitators bring their own lived experience in similar communities to help create connections with those in the
class.
Although nothing can easily solve the issue of a tired parent, snacks and drinks are provided to help keep energy
levels up. In addition, enriched child care with activities will be provided at sessions where parents need to bring
younger children ages 0-8 in order to attend. Utilizing Bigby Villa and Martin Luther King Jr.Apartment complex
for those living in West Fresno helps particularly address some level of the safety issue traveling at night. During
the enriched child care settings, children will be screened for any developmental concerns and if concern arises,
Parent Education Facilitator along with the Enriched Child Care Worker will communicate collaboratively with
parent to provide the right level of early intervention for the child and family. Developmentally age appropriate
lesson plans during the enriched childcare will mirror what parents are learning during the parenting education
sessions so that we are ensuring that new behavior is learned to hopefully change the trajectory of the family
system.
c) How the curriculum is culturally sensitive,recognizes and respects cultural identity and diversity.
The Curriculum used in the Family Connections Program devotes one whole session on culture and diversity.
During this session staff helps clients identify their own culture. The goal of this session is for clients to understand
their behavior patterns and why they do the things that they do. Clients are encouraged to increases creativity in
problem-solving through new perspectives, ideas, and strategies.
Staff responds appropriately to diversity,they teach families more adaptive behaviors which are consistent with
their culture,but will also help them adapt in their broader social environment, and the community they now reside
in. Our program teaches clients to value diversity by accepting and respecting differences between and within
cultures. We often presume that a common culture is shared between members of racial,linguistic, and religious
groups,but this may not be true. A group might share historical and geographical experiences,but individuals may
share only physical appearance, language, or spiritual beliefs. As people move to new areas and meld with other
cultures, it creates an amalgamation of subcultures within racial groups. The most important actions to be
conscious of are usually the ones we take for granted.
Anticipating change is a basic dynamic in the development of relationships. Acceptance is the magic that happens
when people are truly working together,understanding one another deeply, and in total agreement about their
beliefs and goals. True relationships happen only if people treat each other with respect and effectively
communicate with each other.
Multi-Cultural Parenting Guide provides clients with a better understanding of the parenting practices of specific
cultures and how to incorporate cultural traditions into their daily lives. It also increases awareness,understanding
and sensitivity to the uniqueness of some of the cultures that make up American society. Cultures covered in this
guide include: Mexican,Puerto Rican,El Salvadoran,Hmong, Cambodian, Chinese,Korean,Japanese,
Vietnamese,African American,Filipino,Hawaiian, Chilean, and Laotian.
The entire curriculum utilized addresses English and Spanish speakers and multiple cultures. CSN's Parent
Education Facilitators are recruited who are generally bilingual and bicultural, and have lived experience with the
communities they now serve. CSN's current Parent Education Facilitators are Latino and bilingual in Spanish. If
possible, at least one of the two Parent Education Facilitators will be familiar with an African-American experience
and culture. In the past,the number of Southeast Asian families referred has been very small and have spoken
English. While there are CSN staff members who are of the Southeast Asian culture, should the Corrections
System anticipate a high need for Hmong language availability, a Parent Education Facilitator could be recruited
from the Southeast Asian community. CSN also has experience working with a hearing interpreter and can arrange
in the event such a need exists. Materials from all the programs are available in English and Spanish.
d) How the curriculum addresses different adult learning styles and educational backgrounds.
It has been established that most adults, adolescents, and children learn best by experiencing a blend of activities
that promote the three learning domains: cognitive,affective, and behavioral. This curriculum is sensitive to adults'
learning styles, and how and why adults learn. It also understands that adult learners bring experiences and self-
awareness to learning that younger learners(children)do not.
Proposal No. 18-045 25
Exhibit B
The three primary learning styles are: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners need to see an instructor's
facial expressions and body language to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to think in pictures and
learn best from visual displays. Auditory learners tend to learn by listening,hearing, and speaking. Auditory
learners learn best through lectures, discussions, and brainstorming. They interpret the underlying meaning of
speech by listening to voice tone,pitch, and speed and other speech nuances.Kinesthetic learners tend to learn by
experiencing,moving, and doing. Kinesthetic learners learn best through a hands-on approach and actively
exploring the physical world around them. They can easily become distracted by their need for activity and
exploration.
People usually retain approximately 90 percent of what they see,hear,and do. All people have the capability to
learn via all three styles,but are usually dominant in one. In efforts to address all three domains and learning
styles,our program incorporates a variety of teaching techniques and tools. In regards to the Visual style we use
PowerPoint,Videos,Pictures,Flip Charts,Reading and Demonstrations. In regards to the Auditory style we use
Lectures, Group discussions, Informal Conversations, Stories,Examples and Brainstorms. In regards to the
Kinesthetic style we use Role Plays, Simulations,Practice Demonstrations,Writing/Note Taking and Hands-on
Activities.
Therefore, each of our session is facilitated by a team of two Parenting Education Facilitators. Throughout the
lesson,they alternate; one provides the material,while the other facilitator observes the class to ensure that every
client is engaged in the class. In addition,clients are provided with homework and every session each client
receives one book to read with their child(ren); as well as a packet of supplies for activities to do with their
child(dren). Finally, CSN consciously prepares all written material in English and Spanish at a third grade literacy
level.
e) Evidence based programming is being used and information showing how the program is effective.
Nurturing Parenting Programs(NPP) and Strengthening Families culturally sensitive materials and tools are used to
help build a more comprehensive family support.
Parental Resilience:NPP builds resilience by helping parents develop a positive self-concept and respond with
empathy to their children, as well as to themselves. Anger management, stress management and emotional
regulation are emphasized. In addition,parents are encouraged in each lesson to consider the impact of their own
childhood experiences on their current thoughts and behaviors.
Social Connections: Through group-based sessions that are tailored for families in a specific cultural group and/or
geographic area, encourages parents to involve themselves and significant others in home-based services,NPP
promotes the development and strengthening of social connections. The bond between parent and NPP facilitator
also serves to model what a healthy, collaborative,nurturing relationship looks like. Parents can apply that in their
parenting as well as in their family, friendship and romantic relationships.
Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development: Building knowledge of parenting and child development is a
primary focus of NPP. The parenting content in NPP emphasizes the importance of cooperative, empathic
relationships with children and"discipline with dignity." Programs structured around the age of the child allow for
the delivery of relevant information on brain development, ages and stages and other child and youth development
topics. The goal is to develop appropriate expectations among parents.
Concrete Support in Times of Need:NPP uses a wraparound approach to ensure that families are getting the
support they need,particularly when referred to the program by social services. The Nurturing Skills Competency
Scale is used to identify needed concrete supports in six areas.
Social and Emotional Competence of Children: Children participate in activities that parallel what their parents are
learning. A focus is on how to use"personal power"in a positive way. Children learn age-appropriate emotional
regulation and relationship skills.

2. Organizational Readiness
CSN has a 37-year history of providing wrap around services to culturally diverse families. The comprehensive
approach of CSN allows families to gain easy access to services internally and within other non-profits. The range
of family services offered by CSN is a coordinated continuum of prevention,intervention, and referral out to
treatment services. CSN has a stellar record of providing services to underserved areas of Fresno County with a
high degree of cultural competency. CSN has grown from a$3 million budget to over a$14.5 million budget.
As an experienced 501(c)3 non-profit organization, CSN has an extensive knowledge of working with families who
have historical cultural distrust, experienced institutionalized racism, and have been disproportionally oppressed.
This experience comes from working with County and State Government in the provision of direct services to
families involved in child welfare services. More than ten programs operate under the CSN umbrella which
include; childcare referrals,toy lending library,help for child care providers in becoming licensed/accredited,help
for income eligible families to receive subsidized childcare, support for child care providers to include children
with special needs and challenging behaviors, and a family resource program. Management team holds semi-
monthly meetings to discuss policies/protocols and ensures that we are being true to our mission. CSN has the
unique capacity of drawing on an in-house,broad knowledge base provided by the diversity of services offered.
a) Organization's capabilities to provide the requested services
CSN is one of the current agencies providing effective Court-Ordered Parenting Education services to Fresno
County Department of Social Services. For this specific program,the structure and capability has been established
successfully for the last two years. Staff has been fully trained and all materials &forms have been developed. If
funded, CSN is ready to provide services July 1st, 2018.
CSN's Family Connections(FC),through First 5 funding,was established in 2001 and has been serving families
consistently in high need zip codes for the past 14 years. FC has provided a variety of social services,home
visitation, literacy programs, developmental learning groups(DLGs),health services,parent education and Well
Baby Clinics,to more than 6,000 unduplicated children ages 0-5 and their families where all children have been
developmentally screened and linked to services if needed. FC home visitation is aligned with the Strengthening
Families Protective Factors Framework model as CSN has adopted that framework as a community of practice
which is also in alignment with our role as the Resource &Referral Network(R&R). FC's bilingual,bicultural
staff is fully capable to support the changing demographics of Fresno County and has built strong trusting
relationships with the residents of this community by going door-to-door and inviting input on services that
residents felt were most needed. CSN reinforced a commitment to cultural sensitivity by hiring local,bilingual
residents for many staff positions. FC's staff is trained in multiple evidence based modalities to ensure the needs of
families with young children are being met.
Proposal No. 18-045 27
Exhibit B
CSN has provided Intensive Home Visitation Services since 2013 to Fresno County DSS's Voluntary Family
Maintenance Program. The Home Visitation Program is designed to improve parent's protective factors such as
parenting skills and attitudes towards their children and reduce risk factors such as parent depression and child
behavioral concerns. This program has a strong relationship between the Home Visitor and the Fresno County
Social Workers. The program follows best practice guidelines for home visitation.
CSN has successfully implemented multiple large grants over the past years and has accounting staff that monitor
and handle the finances of all programs which are audited and reviewed annually by professional auditors and
funders to ensure the proper accounting and recording of various program transactions. Management also holds
twice monthly meetings to discuss policies/protocols and to ensure that we are building a culture around our
mission to"Improve the quality of care for children of the Central Valley." Staff must carry additional insurance in
their vehicle and have adequate transportation. In addition, CSN has one vehicle that the department utilizes to do
home visitation in Fresno's rural communities.
b) Education and experience,including training and certification, of the Program Manager and other key
staff as it pertains to program administration
Staffing for this program will consist of:
(1) .25 FTE Program Manager
(2) .50 FTE Parent Education Specialists
CSN's strong organizational structure is built upon an innovative Board of Directors (Board). The Board of
Directors'overall responsibilities are governance and financial management of the agency. The Executive Director,
Gayle L. Duffy,reports to the Board in full detail during monthly Board meetings. The Executive Director has full
responsibility to oversee the personnel and administration.
The Program Manager will supervise and review project services, activities and evaluations through weekly staff
and reflective practice meetings, data collection, and one-on-one meetings. The program manager will also
participate in monthly supervisory meetings with CSN's Executive Director to monitor the quality of services and
activities.
Fernando Segura,Family Connections Program Manager, currently administers four of CSN's programs. The four
programs consist of. the Department of Social Services' (DSS)Voluntary Family Maintenance Intensive Home
Visitation contract for the last five years;the DSS's Parenting Education Program for the last two years; First 5's
Home Visitation and Developmental Learning Group for the 13 years; finally, The Fresno Superior Court's
Children's Waiting Rooms for the las two years. Management teams report to the Family Connections Manager on
the day-to-day operations. Management oversees the performance of staff. The Management team meets weekly
and as needed to discuss updates in their projects and how they can support each other's goals and objectives.
Furthermore,the Family Connections Manager provides both group and individual Reflective Supervision of
Management staff.
Experience: Program Manager has managed the Family Connections Program since 2002. He has experience
providing counseling to youth at the Juvenile Justice Campus with the Focus Forward program and experience
providing counseling to female parolees and their dependent children through Fresno First,Mental Health Systems,
Inc. Program Manager participated actively in the African American Culture Broker Project with CSU Fresno in
2011.
The Program Manager will review and supervise project services, activities and evaluations through weekly staff
and reflective practice meetings, data collection, and one-on-one meetings. As part of supervision,the program
manager will also attend monthly parent meetings. The current Family Connections manager will oversee the new
Evidence-Based Parenting Program. His education consists of MA Social Work from California State University,

Job descriptions and resumes for Gayle L. Duffy,Fernando Segura and Parent Education Facilitators (filled)are
included in the Reports Section.Also, a full organizational structure layout where Family Connections program will

c) How the organization will ensure that cultural and/or linguistic sensitivity is included in all aspects of
program planning and service delivery.
CSN is committed to meeting the needs of families in all their diversity. CSN has dedicated itself to providing
services,programs and policies that are appropriate and accessible to clients,who encompass a broad range of
human differences such as ability and disability, age, educational level,ethnicity,gender, geographic origin,race,
religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, and values. These services include cross cultural communication
Proposal No. 18-045 29
Exhibit B
and respect for the linguistic, ethnic, and gender-based differences that contribute to cultural identity. CSN will
continue to hire and train culturally skilled and knowledgeable staff. During program planning and service
delivery, CSN anticipate which cultural communities they are likely to serve and then develop the competence to
serve them appropriately. If CSN finds that it lacks a professional skill in the culture or language of a client in
home visitation, CSN consults with, or refer to someone who possesses that skill. CSN has an organizational
commitment to strive for cultural competency. The expectation of the agency is for each staff member to also be
culturally competent and have management that will continue to create the service delivery structure and
environment where cultural competence is possible.
All curriculum utilized addresses English and Spanish speakers and multiple cultures. CSN Parent Education
Facilitators are recruited who are generally bilingual and bicultural, and have lived experience with the
communities they now serve. CSN's current Parent Education Facilitator is Latino and bilingual in Spanish.
Because African-American parents usually feel more comfortable with at least one Parent Education Facilitator
sharing their race and cultural background,recruitment of one of the new Parent Education Facilitators will focus
on identifying a competent Parent Education Facilitator if possible. In the past,the number of Southeast Asian
families referred has been very small and have spoken English. While there are CSN staff members who are of the
Southeast Asian culture, should the Corrections System anticipate a high need for Hmong language availability, a
Parent Education Facilitator could be recruited from the Southeast Asian community. CSN also has experience
working with a hearing interpreter and can continue to utilize in the event such a need exists. Materials from all the
programs are available in English and Spanish.
3. Implementation Plan
a) Program implementation plan.Proposed schedule of events and actions to start-up the program
assuming a contract effective date of July 1,2018 through when the first group will be served;
The Family Connections Framework is an integration of nationally recognized evidence based curriculums such as:
Nurturing Parenting Program; Make Parenting A Pleasure; Back to Basics; and Strengthening Families Protective
Factors.
The key strategy utilized in this program consists of: The Parenting Education classes provide tools and skills for
parents to learn how to nurture their children;build relationships between parent and child; and,parent protective
factors. Parenting Education classes are offered in either mornings or evenings in English and Spanish. Each parent
will receive 14 sessions(approx. 2 '/z hrs duration each).
The focus is primarily on building relationships with clients; encouraging peer-to-peer sharing. Since they are all in
the same situation,hearing others with similar issues or where a solution has proven effective,helps build trust for
the entire experience. Clients are allowed to miss only two justified sessions in order to receive a certificate of
completion.
Parents needing additional referrals for services as identified in assessments or during class sessions will be
provided,either internally or through community partners.
Topics include:
Session(1)Getting Started,Welcome;Hopes and Fears; Orientation
Session(2)Taking Care of Yourself;Nurturing as a Life Style
Session(3)Understanding Stress
Session(4)Understanding Anger
Session(5)Child Development; The Basics
Session(6)Developing Empathy
Session(7)Criticism and Confrontation
Session(8)A Celebration of Culture and Spirituality
Session(9)Communication
Proposal No. 18-045 30
Exhibit B
Session(10)Discipline(Part- 1)
Session(11)Discipline(Part-2)
Session(12)Domestic Violence
Session(13)Budgeting and Employment Skills Development
Session(14) Graduation,Evaluation and Next Step
All materials needed for these classes will be provided by our program. Considering the length of the class, snacks
and refreshments will be provided. Also, child care will be provided for those parents who may need assistance
while classes are in session.
Implementation Plan for Start-up
The current Program Manager and two(2)Parent Education Facilitators are already fully trained in Nurturing
Parenting Program,Make Parenting a Pleasure,Back to Basics and Strengthening Families Protective Factors
Framework. The combined curriculum has been developed and proven to be effective. The curriculum will be
revised as necessary if needed to better address issues for this target population.
b) Recruitment efforts to fill program positions and the estimated timeline for achieving full staffing;
Recruitment within CSN is the first step for recruitment for the three new positions and CSN encourages staff to
develop and grow. Due to the desire to also recruit someone part of the African-American culture to better develop
trust for those of that race in the program,recruitment in the community will also occur. Recruitment for these
part-time positions will begin as soon as the contract is awarded. As shown above, it is hoped that recruitment and
interviews can be conducted through July. Because there is a desire to attract a Parent Education Facilitator with
experience in the African-American culture,contacting collaborative community partners and cultural brokers will
occur. Networks such as The Children's Movement,Fresno State Department of Social Work, SMART MOCPOC
and similar will also be utilized. Media and the newspaper will be utilized as necessary.
The individuals recruited should have at least an AA degree,be certified in NPP or Back to Basics,have experience
in facilitating in a group setting,bilingual preferred, and must be culturally competent. The positions are part-time.
c) Describe timeline for program start up;
Since this is existing staff,all three have been cleared through the Department of Justice. CSN deliberately
scheduling the first sessions in August due to the unknown number of referrals received. The current Parent
Facilitator and the Program Manager as an Alternate Facilitator will facilitate the first session since they can easily
accommodate in an ethnically and language appropriate manner. The second session is projected to take place in
the month of October at the Bigby Villa in West Fresno location, allowing enough time to receive the referrals. For
additional program start up details please see the table below.

In addition, all current staff will be trained in more depth on trauma-informed care by June 2018, in advance of the
contract, should it be awarded. As they incorporate practices,new staff will be provided the information. The
current Program Manager has a background in Mental Health and has taken multiple courses in Trauma and Abuse,
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders(PTSD), and is fully certified in Nurturing Parenting Practice program.
Logistics for the various session locations will be finalized, schedules confirmed,materials copied,weekly
reporting format finalized with the Corrections System and monthly reporting finalized. (See samples proposed in
the Reports section.)Monthly reporting will be provided electronically in an Excel spreadsheet as per the sample
report provided,with adjustments as needed for Corrections System purposes. These activities and adjustments
will be completed in July and August. The first session will begin the first week in August.
d) Budget advance request justification why it's necessary to implement services
Children's Services Network(CSN) is requesting an advancement of$20,600 to cover the first two months'
expenses related to start-up costs, as well as payroll expenses,utility costs, supplies and equipment. As a 501(c)3
non-profit we administer a of number of contracts that reimburse us for the services we provide after the work has
been completed. Unfortunately, our General fund is limited. CSN is committed to providing quality services and
we believe that we are an excellent fit for this contract. We have a great deal of experience and a stellar record for
providing high quality parenting education services to our target populations. Furthermore,we are one of the
current providers for Fresno County's DSS Parenting Education program. Our program has a completion and/or
graduation success rate of 80 percent. If selected, it is our intention to initiate services effective July 1, 2018 and
we would submit monthly invoices for reimbursements of actual costs beginning the end of July 2018.
e) Individuals expected to participate in the program,including class size and number of groups expected
annually.
CSN will provide 60 parents,who have children ages 0-17 and are identified by County of Fresno Corrections
System,with the Family Connections program, consisting of 14 parenting education sessions for two and a half
hours each. The curriculum's foundation is the evidence-based,trauma informed Nurturing Parenting Program, and
integrates the best of the evidence-based Make Parenting a Pleasure,Back to Basics and the Protective Factors
Framework. The program will be offered in five cohorts in English and Spanish in both day and evening in three
different locations: Malaga,West Fresno, and downtown Fresno. CSN will provide a total of five(5)cohorts of 12
clients. To ensure that we follow the fidelity of curriculum,the ideal number of clients per session is between 10 to
12;however,CSN is willing to begin a Cohort with fewer clients if requested by the Corrections System.
4. Outcomes
Outcomes will be met through meeting the following objectives. The Family Connections Parenting Education
Program will meet weekly in cohorts of approximately 10-12 people. With five cohorts,the objective of having a
minimum of 60 participants is easily met. CSN's committing to serve 60 parents with the capability to serve 70.
As described earlier, a weekly narrative on each participant will be available, along with an electronic report on
level of parent engagement. Professionals and/or paraprofessionals trained in the curriculum will provide the
session facilitation. There will be two Parent Education Facilitators for each class session,who speak the
appropriate language for the audience.
a) Program goals,objectives, and outcomes
The CSN program anticipates the following outcomes specifically:
Objective 1: 60 parents in 5 cohorts throughout 3 locations will participate in 14 class sessions of Fresno
Family Connections parent education; up to 100 can be accommodated.
Outcome 1A: At least 60 unduplicated parents will attend the sessions.
Outcome 1B: 80%receive a certificate of completion
Proposal No. 18-045 32
Exhibit B
Objective 2: 60 parents will be screened utilizing the Adult-Adolescent Parenting Inventory-2 (AAPI) tool to
determine a baseline on parenting skills and attitudes.
Of those completing the program:
Outcome 2A: 80%improve in at least two constructs identified in the initial assessment
Outcome 213: 70%improve in at least two of three areas of discipline(Expectations of Children,Use of
Corporal Punishment(Discipline), Parents Empathy towards Children's Needs)
Outcome 2C: 50%improve in at least four of the five constructs of the AAPI assessments
Outcome 21): 100%at least maintain initial levels identified in the remaining constructs and do not regress
Objective 3: Parents completing the program are able to identify important knowledge gained and at least one
new positive behavior change begun by the last session.
Outcome 3A: 75%of parents completing the program indicate they learned at least three new things as
identified in the final satisfaction survey and the average score of all participants is having learned at least 3
new things
Outcome 313: 85%of parents completing the program identified in the satisfaction survey a new behavior they
are now using with their child(ren)
Objective 4: Parents needing additional referrals for services as identified in assessments or during class
sessions will be provided, either internally, through community partners, or in conjunction with DSS.
Outcome 4: The number of parents referred and the number/percent of referrals made and completed will be
tracked(more than one referral could be provided to an individual participant).
b) How the organization will evaluate program services
Evaluation Tools: Attendance will be monitored utilizing Attendance sign-in sheets. Level of parent engagement
will be monitored through the completion of the Parent Education Facilitator Weekly Parent Engagement tool and
results reported monthly as shown in the Report section. Pre and Post AAPI screenings will be utilized to
demonstrate improvement(see more detail in the Outcomes section). A Parent Satisfaction survey on the last day
of each session will provide a parent perception of knowledge gained and at least one behavior change already
occurring, as well as utilized for continuous program improvement. The enclosed draft in the Reports section will
likely be revised to some extent once the final curriculum is developed.
c) How the program will collect and maintain required data,report data on a monthly basis,and provide
ad hoc reports as requested by Probation.
In the five-year experience providing intense home visitation services to Fresno County Voluntary Family
Maintenance Program and DSS Parenting Education program, CSN together with Fresno County's Contract
Analyst have developed a series of forms and tracking sheets for purposes of collecting and maintaining required
demographic information; service provision data,reports on a monthly basis, and ad hoc reports to DSS. Example
of forms include: the Fresno County home visitation AAPI Outcomes Reporting spread sheet,Home Visitation
Tracking Log and the Intensive Home-Based Visitation Services Monthly VFM Report.
CSN's staff is most respectful of the families' personal information handled on a daily basis. CSN has developed
policies and guidelines which protect the sharing of data in terms of not only how the data is collected;but, in what
manner and with whom it may be shared without compromising the information we have about families. CSN's
policy to ensure data quality and integrity requires staff training on confidentiality and identity theft. All data
collected is maintained in a locked file and may be accessed only by appropriate personnel. Data stored on
computers is accessed by appropriate staff passwords. Computer backups are completed every 24 hours.
CSN has adopted a learning culture when it comes to data. Staff has been provided with an environment to openly
discuss findings that data might reveal about program operations. Data has and will continue to be used as a
spotlight for continuous improvement efforts around the services we deliver. Through this continuous
Proposal No. 18-045 33
Exhibit B
improvement loop we will utilize data driven knowledge to guide performance and help prioritize concrete action
plans. Our learning culture includes staff,DSS staff, and clients in programing services.
Family Connections has also worked collaboratively with First 5 in their Web-based Persimmony data program.
This database system monitors and tracks the effectiveness of referrals given to families based on their unique and
varying needs from the results of the AAPI-2 and ASQ/ASQ:SE,while also tracking outcomes and goals for the
First 5 contract. FC defines being linked to services as more than just a referral;but, ensures that families actually
received services from the intended referral agency. This is another measure for us to monitor the effectiveness of
our working relationships and to ensure families are provided with timely early intervention services for their
children.
5. Location
a) Proposed program site,including: location(s),the days and hours of operation, and how it meets the
needs of the program.
Three locations will be provided for the Family Connections Parenting Education program. Two of the three
locations offer both day and evening classes. From past experience,we know that stay-at-home parents often prefer
to attend sessions in the day while children are at school. We have found they are freer in their participation.
1. Malaga Elementary School of Fowler Unified School District, 3910 S. Ward Ave.,Fresno in the evenings
from 6 pm to 8:30 pm, one group conducted in English and a second cohort conducted in Spanish. This
will allow parents in the south/southeast area of downtown Fresno 93725 zip code to more easily attend in
their own tight-knit community of less than 1,000 residents who are 94%Latino.
11. Bigby Villa apartment complex in West Fresno, 1329 E. Rev Chester Riggins Ave, 937076. This Housing
and Urban Development(HUD) subsidized apartment complex both houses those who may be referred for
parenting education and is easily accessible for the residents in what has been termed one of the highest
concentration of poverty urban neighborhoods in the nation. This area,per the US Census 2014, is 59%
Latino and 18%African American.Asians(primarily Southeast Asian)comprise about 11%of the
neighborhood. Two parenting sessions are evenings from 6 pm to 8:30 pm and one in the day from with
two different groups in English and one group in Spanish.
111. The Lighthouse for Children, 2405 Tulare St,in downtown Fresno for 93701, 93702, 93703,and 93727
zip code areas. Three of these zip codes are predominately Latino. In southeast Fresno(93727),Latinos
are an estimated 42%,while Southeast Asians are as high as 15%, significantly higher than other
neighborhoods. Parenting session at The Lighthouse are weekdays from 10 am— 12:30 pm and cohorts
will be conducted in English and Spanish.

D. Description of alternative solutions or approaches to accomplishing the desired results.
CSN's goal is to provide the participating client with the necessary skills to succeed and become productive in
today's society. The parenting program understands that part of this process consists of meeting requirements and
often situations may arise in which the client may be prevented from meeting them. Clients are able to miss twice
during their required cohort. The parenting program wants to ensure that the client obtains missed information
and/or materials. Therefore,to confirm receipt,the Parent Education Facilitators will work with the client by
offering a one-on-one session. If, for any reason the client and Parent Education Facilitator cannot come to an
agreement that best meets the client's needs,the parent will be offered other options. One option would be to place
the client on a waitlist for the following parenting cohort. The client will then be able to continue services from
where they left off at and work towards successfully completing the program. Another option would be a referral to
a different agency/program that would be a better fit in meeting the client's needs. CSN's evidence-based parenting
program wants to ensure that clients receive the appropriate services to aide in assisting the client for a successful
future.

RE: Letter of Support for CSN
Dear Gayle;
Without hesitation and with great enthusiasm, this letter is being written in support of the
Central Valley Children's Services Network (CSN) Home Visitation Program and their application
for funding. Families participating in this program are often involved in toxic risk environments
such as substance abuse, child abuse, and parental mental illness impacting children at high risk
for neglect and abuse. Fresno County Superintendent of Schools has a longstanding partnership
with CSN and values the work CSN promotes with the families and children. CSN is certainly able
to provide one-on-one home visitation, referral to local agencies, conduct educational
playgroups for the children and provide parenting education classes. In addition, the meetings
with collaborating agencies ensure all barriers are eliminated.
The home visitation program primarily focus on vulnerable families with children ages 0-S and
the comprehensive visits that meet the individual needs of the family. CSN is gifted to {ink
families with an array of services internally and within the community, as well as follow-up with
the referral.
We value CSN as one of our collaborating partners in many of our projects. If I can be of any
assistance, please contact me at (559) 497-3846 or via email: Ijaime@fcoe.org.

Regarding: Fresno Family Connections
TO: Whom it may concern:
The Fresno Family Connections program (FFC) have collaborated with the Lori Ann Infant
Program (LAIP) serves for more than two years. The LAIP provides special education
services to families with children birth the three years old that have special needs.
When the families LAIP serves also have the FFC services,they receive the most complete
education that can be provided at this age level.
Both programs focus on healthy relationships,child development,early literacy,health,
communication,socialization, and family support.
FFC is an important community link between families and special education. Their expert
knowledge on typical child development has led to referrals to LAIP for assessment for
special education.
I could not do my job without the support of this vital community resource.
Sincerely,
