Retained by The Parent Success Initiative a State program that developed a consortium of Human Service Agencies headed by the local division  of the N.Y. State B.O.C.E.S.. This group was charged with developing a program for Non-custodial parents that would help them with training as parents, job development and search, legal help and other supportive services. We were hired to author a parenting curriculum and conduct classes in “Successful parenting.”  The classes were highly successful largely due to the inclusion of client focus and input . This resulted in the creation of the Family Advisory Council; a committee of program clients, who acted as a resource for the PSI group.
