(PEI) Strengthening Families Program (SFP)

The County of Riverside is seeking proposals from private non-profit and for-profit community organizations to provide Prevention and Early Intervention services, specifically the Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Children Ages 6-11 (SFP). The program aims to reduce the risk of developing mental health problems for children ages 6-11 by strengthening parenting skills, building family strengths, enhancing youth's school success, and reducing risk factors for behavioral, emotional, and social problems. The target population is families with children ages 6-11, with priority given to certain cultural populations. The contract was awarded to three vendors: MFI Recovery Center, California Family Life Center, and Riverside County Latino Commission. • The program will be a 14-session evidence-based practice using a parent, youth, and multi-family group format. • The program will provide incentives to promote positive participation. • The contract was awarded pending approval by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. • The County of Riverside encourages all perspective bidders to visit their website for future bidding opportunities.
