Child and Family Resource Program (Pottsville, Pennsylvania). Program Description.
Development Associates, Inc., Washington, DC.
Family centers were used to coordinate the delivery of services in the Child and Family Reosurce Program (CFRP) in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, one of 11 demonstration sites in this Head Start-affiliated program. Cooperation between county service agencies was fostered by implementation of a task force whose members were executive directors of the service agencies. Specific areas of the program are described and evaluated: (1) the overall, specific, and operational goals of the program and its components; (2) the planning, startup, and implementation of the program components (social and health services, parent and vocational education, infant-toddler development, and parent involvement); (3) major staff functions, qualifications, and interrelationships; (4) preservice and inservice training programs; (5) recruitment of families and the use of needs assessment procedures; (6) amount and quality of social service agency delivery coordination; (7) materials used with each component; and (8) program cost data (in table form). A general summary of this site's strengths and weaknesses is provided. (ED)
