SafeCare Services - Evidenced-Based In-Home Parenting Education Program

The County of Riverside's Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) # DPARC-506 for SafeCare Services, an evidenced-based in-home parenting education program. The program aims to improve parenting skills, reduce child hazards, and provide health education to at-risk families. The RFQ was cancelled, and a new RFQ # DPARC-559 was issued. The contract requires the provider to deliver services in four separate zones within the county, with a target population of families with children ages 0 to 5 who have a history of child maltreatment or are at risk of child maltreatment. The program's objectives include improving parenting skills, reducing parental stress, and increasing parental competence. • The program consists of three modules: Home Safety, Health, and Parent-Child/Parent-Infant Interactions. • The provider must use evidence-based practices and tools, and participate in program evaluation and monitoring. • The contract requires the provider to serve a specific number of clients per year in each zone. • The County of Riverside will evaluate the program's outcomes, including graduation rates, parental stress, and parental competence.
