Nationally recognized program providing parents with services and refer parents to appropriate substance treatment.
The program seeks to:
- Provide immediate, intensive substance use disorder supportive services.
- Help Baltimore City Department of Social Services (DSS) make good decisions about reuniting parents and children, or finding a new permanent home for children.
- Reduce the time a child stays in foster care due to a parent’s substance use disorder.
- Save costs for the state of Maryland by reducing time in foster care.
Mission Statement
At FRP, we “S.E.E. our families.”
Strengthen. Engage. and Equip.
- We strengthen families affected by trauma, substance use, and behavioral health conditions by providing equitable and inclusive services.
- We engage families in a diverse array of holistic services.
- We equip families with the necessary trauma-informed skills for resilience in order to live a self-directed life.
Outcomes
An independent evaluation by NPC Research compared results and costs for parents who received FRP services to families who did not. The results are remarkable. Read more about them here. The bottom line is that FRP cases are less costly to the child welfare system – more than $5,000 in savings per year per family — and more successful in reuniting families at a faster rate than non-FRP parents.
The vision of FRP is as follows:
To be the national leader providing family strengthening opportunities to individuals and organizations.
