Introduced Text

Illinois SB3854 proposes to implement a Community Pathway for Parents as Teachers model to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Illinois SB3854 seeks to amend the Children and Family Services Act by introducing the Community Pathway for Parents as Teachers model. This model aims to provide child development knowledge and parenting support to families with children aged 0 through 5 years. It serves as an alternative prevention strategy to the Department's traditional child protection approach, facilitating families' accessibility to needed services without child welfare involvement. The model integrates the existing Parents as Teachers model, administered by the Parents as Teachers Illinois State Office.
